The Panton Chair is a true classic in furniture history. Designed by Verner Panton in 1960, its mass production began in 1967 in collaboration with Vitra. It was the first plastic chair manufactured in a single piece. Since its launch, it has gone through several production phases. Only from 1999 onwards was it possible to manufacture it while faithfully respecting the original concept: in highly resistant molded plastic with an attractive matte finish.

The Softshell Chair's seat structure offers a level of comfort that can only be truly appreciated when you sit down: the vertical slats concealed in the backrest adapt to the user's anatomy, providing great freedom of movement and exceptional comfort even after prolonged sitting. The rounded contours and soft, comfortable padding across its entire surface give the Softshell Chair its warm and inviting character.

Las sillas soportan más tensión en las patas traseras, ya que son ellas las que absorben el peso de la parte superior del cuerpo. El ingeniero y diseñador Jean Prouvé aplicó esta sencilla idea al inconfundible diseño de la silla Standard: las patas delanteras, que soportan un peso relativamente pequeño, son de acero tubular, mientras que las patas traseras son elementos huecos de gran volumen que transmiten la tensión al suelo.

Belleville is the name of a lively Parisian neighborhood where designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have their studio. The Belleville Chair's visual references can be found in the classic furnishings of French restaurants and the cheerful atmosphere of this Parisian corner. The chair's familiar shape—even in a contemporary context—might initially seem obvious, but it also evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue, as the chair's material, structure, and craftsmanship are only revealed upon closer inspection.

“Getting the most of the best to the greatest number of people for the least”: with these words, Charles and Ray Eames described one of their main goals as furniture designers. None of their works came closer to this ideal than the Plastic Chair. For years, they worked on the idea of a one-piece seat shell molded to fit the contours of the human body. In the 1940s, when their experiments with plywood and aluminum sheeting didn't yield the expected results, their search for alternative materials led them to fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin.

The Organic Chair—a small, comfortable reading chair—was presented in 1940, in several versions, at the "Organic Design in Home Furnishings" competition organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The sculptural forms of this design were ahead of their time, although at that time it could not be mass-produced because the appropriate production techniques did not yet exist. It wasn't until 1950 that it became possible to manufacture and market in large quantities curved seat shells with organic shapes, such as the well-known Plastic Armchair by Charles and Ray Eames or the Tulip Chair by Saarinen. There is a version of the Organic Chair with a wider and longer backrest and broader armrests, the Organic Highback chair. The Organic Conference version is also suitable for dining tables. The Organic Conference chair has a higher seat and a more upright back than the Organic Chair and Organic Highback, models designed for reading. This exceptionally comfortable chair is ideal as a dining chair or for use in meeting rooms.
