Danish designer Verner Panton (1926-98), is perhaps best known for his Panton Chair, formed as a single piece in colourful plastic, but he has worked with other renowned Danish designers such as Poul Henningsen and Arne Jacobsen, and has produced a great many significant designs. His work ranged from furniture and product design to architecture and exhibition design, leaving a strong mark on the history of modern design in the 1960s and 70s. Panton's unconventional forms and vivid colours still retain their excitement today.
