Panton Velvet
Danish designer Verner
Panton spent many years contemplating how to produce a chair molded
from a single piece of plastic. His achievement, The Panton
Chair, was first introduced in 1967 and became a design icon of the
20th century. Panton's original design featured a soft
surface, but the flocking techniques of the period did not produce a
satisfactory finish, Vitra, in close cooperation with the Panton
family, used updated techniques to successfully produce Panton's
original concept with a soft velvety surface, or Panton Velvet.
The 20 fuchsia-pink limited edition Panton Velvets debuted at
Mobitare Miami during Art Basel 2006.

Yin Yang
Janus et Cie's Yin Yang lounge furnit8ure by
Dedon uni8tes the dynamic opposites of ancient Chinese philosophy
into a harmonious interplay of co9lor and form. The bronze-and
platinum-colored fibers in this collection of indoor/outdoor
furniture reflect this harmony in alternating convex an concave
surfaces. This latest signature collection was inspired by
time and tide. This flowing from of each Yin Yang chaise
incorporates 4,000 meters of fiber, a production challenge for even
the most exp0erienced artisans. Like more traditional tete-a-tete
seating, Yin Yang provides comfort and the option of face-to-face
conversation for two in one contemporary design.
