Panton One Dining Chair 602-Paperblack/99-Stainless

Imagine a black-tie dinner for a chair, and this is the outfit it would wear. Black paper string woven over a gleaming brushed stainless frame: all drama, all grace, and not a sequin in sight. Under a pendant lamp, the weave throws a delicate pattern, and the steel picks up every candle flame like a tiny stage light.

The Panton One Dining Chair, designed by Verner Panton, measures 87 cm in height, 54 cm in width and 55 cm in depth. The seat height is 49 cm, and it weighs 4.5 kg. The seat is 602 Paperblack, and the frame is 99 Stainless, a brushed steel finish that glows quietly rather than shouting. It suits a dark dining room as much as a bright kitchen, and it makes a long table of guests look as though they all dressed for a gallery opening. Textured, sleek and ready for the second bottle of wine.
