In the past six decades, the Vitra Panton Chair by Verner Panton has made countless on-screen appearances, transcending geographical and temporal boundaries. Here are two instances where the chair was showcased on television:
The original glossy version of the chair, designed by Panton in 1959, made multiple appearances on the British Science Fiction series from the 1970s, UFO, complimenting the show’s futuristic aesthetic.
In the 2014 Mainland China RomCom, Boss and Me (杉杉来了), the 1999 version of the Panton Chair, featuring a matte finish and molded out of a single piece of dyed polypropylene, played a significant role. It was prominently featured throughout office scenes, contributing to the overall visual appeal and contemporary setting of the romantic comedy.
