Entering the market in the 1950s with a licence to produce pieces from the USA-based Herman Miller Company, Vitra introduced the iconic designs of George Nelson and Verner Panton, among others, to Europe, while presenting never-before-seen processes and manufacturing developments at the same time. Perhaps Vitra’s most famous affiliation however, is with the designs of Charles and Ray Eames: in particular, the world-renowned silhouette of the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, which has been produced by Vitra

for decades in a range of wood finishes and leathers, with a larger version launched in 2011 to adapt to the increasing average human height. Developed and manufactured in Switzerland, Vitra products help to build and finish inspirational spaces for living and working, using classic and new designs in harmony and combining technical and conceptual expertise with the creativity of new practitioners. Synonymous with innovation and ground-breaking 20th century design, Vitra is an iconic maker-of-icons.

In partnership with Vitra and the Panton family, we are honoured to exclusively launch the scintillating, limited-edition Panton Chair Duo by the 20th-century Danish design master Verner Panton, available for purchase from our London Stores.

Only at The Conran Shop until 1st June, this mesmerising new take follows the same production principle as the 1959 original. A glossy lacquered surface accentuates the bold colour combinations of the new Panton Duo, including a bright orange, pink magenta, and purplish-blue, each marked with a 'limited edition' label.
