A landscape of seating
In 1971, Verner Panton designed the modular wire Pantonova seating system for the now-legendary Danish restaurant, Varna: the epitome of the 70s vibe, with its lavish, experimental shapes and vibrant colours. The Pantonova sofa gained further notoriety as the seat of choice of evil shipping tycoon Karl Stromberg in the 1977 James Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me.
Verner Panton was an avid creator and innovator of modular, iconic furniture that merged with its spatial context, transcending the category of furniture. As such, Pantonova and Montana are a perfect fit.
About the series
Pantonova is made of 5 mm wire and is available in Chrome, powder coated Black Red or Stainless steel for outdoor use. The chair is available in 3 versions: Linear, Concave and Convex, which can be assembled in different formations using connectors and assembly clips. The chairs are fited with plastic feet.
Cushions can be purchased in the fabrics Harald and Hallingdal 65 from Kvadrat, and ULTRA leather from Sørensen Leather. The cushions are 3.5 cm thick and are available in 8 colours.
A modular outdoor seating system
The modules can be used alone as sculptural, iconic chairs – or freely combined and arranged into various organically shaped seating formations. Hence, the Pantonova design maintains iconic status, offering endless applications in contemporary contexts, from lobbies, receptions, lounge areas and retail spaces – to the private living rooms of design aficionados.
The Pantonova system is also ideal as lounge furniture to create an outdoor space where the wire construction allows it to blend into the surroundings while still making its own strong design statement.
