VERNER PANTON

After studying architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts

in Copenhagen, Verner Panton worked at Arne Jacobsen’s design studio

for two years. In 1955 he set up his own studio and unveiled his first chair,

called ‘The Tivoli Chair’, which was designed for a restaurant in

Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens.

In 1998, Peter J. Lassen relaunched Verner Panton’s wire shelving system

for Montana. In 2003, the iconic Tivoli Chair was put back into production by

Joakim Lassen and the chair is now called Panton One.

Since 1998, Montana has continuously put Panton’s design into

production – most recently the Pantonova modular wire seating system,

originally designed in 1971 for the legendary Varna Restaurant in Aarhus.
