SERIES 430 Chair/

1967

In 2015, Verpan re-discovered a forgotten dining chair in the

Panton archives. The design was unknown to most, as it only had

a brief production run following its original release in 1967.

Based on Panton’s original drawings and notes, Verpan re-

imagined the beautiful design to modern standards. Verner Panton

had designed the Series 430 Chair to be a study in simplicity, while

providing the same comfort as an armchair.

He did so by applying traditional webbing to the fully upholstered

seat to adjust for body weight and create a wide nestling backrest

and place it on a slender elegant frame that mounts on the outside

of the seat and back.

The Series 430 chair truly is a multipurpose chair and can easily

be applied anywhere in a home and with five different frame

colours to choose from and a wide vairety of upholstery options,

the Series 430 can be customized to suit any desired mood, setting

or occasion.

Fun fact - the Series 430 Chair is the only four-legged chair

designed by Panton.
