Heart Cone Chair
Made by Vitra
Designed by Verner Panton
Verner Panton designed the Heart Cone Chair in 1959, the same year he introduced the original Cone Chair, pushing the form further into territory that was almost theatrical. The heart-shaped silhouette, viewed straight on, reads as pure graphic invention. From the side, it becomes something softer, more considered.
The cone base, a single tapering steel pedestal, lifts the upholstered shell off the floor and allows it to rotate freely. This tension between the structural logic of the base and the organic warmth of the seat is central to Panton's sensibility during this period. He was interested in form as emotional experience, not merely as problem-solving.
- Originally produced by Plus-linje in Denmark
- Now produced by Vitra, faithful to Panton's original specifications
- Available in a range of upholstery options across fabric and leather
- Cone base in polished or powder-coated steel
Panton's work occupies a specific moment in Scandinavian design when function alone was no longer sufficient justification. The Heart Cone Chair belongs to a body of work that argued, through form, for joy as a design value.
