VITRA Amoebe Highback Chair

There has been a resurgence of interest during the last few years in the Danish designer, Verner Panton. An outspoken advocate of space-age living and libertarian lifestyles during the 60's and 70's, Panton's furniture designs are again making stirring contributions to the spheres of contemporary interior living. Many are rapidly approaching the status of design icons of the 20th century. The Amoebe was originally dreamed up for Panton's famous Visiona installation. It is a marvellous example of close-to-the-floor lounge furniture and embodies the spirit of the early 1970s. Amoebe Highback has a flexible backrest that curves over the head of the sitter, forming a sculptural canopy. In this way, Amobe Highback creates a sense of shelter and seclusion - especially in large, open spaces. Materials: laminated structure, foam upholstery. We are happy to provide fabric swatches on request.
