System 1 2 3 Lounge Chair by Verpan, chocolate

Verpan

The System 1-2-3 Lounge Chair by Verpan is from the original 1-2-3 series designed by Verner Panton in 1973. The series originally comprised 20 different models with variations in seat height, arm rests and feet, the new series includes a dining room chair and a lounge chair – both models are available in a standard version made from moulded foam rubber upholstered with fabric and a deluxe version in leather.

The original commission was to design a furniture programme that combined a series of different functions with the basic requirement of good sitting comfort. It took Verner Panton three years to develop the series, and the result was a unique chair concept where Panton worked systematically with design and function based on a defined theme, which he described as follows:

"I wanted to design furniture that grows up out of the floor – to turn the furniture into something organic and never with four legs." Verner Panton
