The expressive Heart Cone Chair is an iconic design piece that owes its name to the heart-shaped silhouette of its seat shell. Designed by Verner Panton in the late 1950s, this extraordinary armchair combines a comfortably upholstered shell with an elegantly understated brushed stainless steel base. This design reflects Panton’s innovative and bold approach, which made him one of the most important designers of the 20th century.
A classic of modern design
Verner Panton reached the first peak of his career as a designer towards the end of the 1950s. With a furniture series based on basic geometric shapes, he anticipated elements of pop art and at the same time showed a clear affinity with the elegance of Scandinavian modernism. The Heart Cone Chair is a perfect example of Panton’s visionary design and his ability to harmonize form and function.
Design and materials
The Heart Cone Chair consists of a body made of glass fiber reinforced, laminated plastic (GRP), which is known for its durability and stability. The polyurethane foam upholstery ensures a high level of seating comfort and makes the chair an ideal piece of furniture for long evenings with friends or relaxing hours alone.
- Body: Glass fiber reinforced, laminated plastic (GRP)
- Upholstery: Polyurethane foam
- Seat height: 395 mm (seated 380 mm, determined in accordance with EN 1335-1:2000)
- Base: Brushed stainless steel star base
- Glides: Plastic
These high-quality materials and precise workmanship ensure that the Heart Cone Chair is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also robust and durable.
An iconic silhouette
The best-known models from this series are the Cone Chair and the Heart Cone Chair. The Heart Cone Chair owes its name to its heart-shaped silhouette. The wide overhanging wings are reminiscent of Mickey Mouse ears, but can also be interpreted as a contemporary evolution of the classic wing chair. This unique shape makes the Heart Cone Chair an eye-catcher in any room and an unmistakable piece of modern design history.
