Amoebe

The Amoebe chair was created by Verner Panton in several versions for the the Visiona II exhibition in Cologne in early 1970. Conceived as a low-slung lounge sculpture, Amoebe embodies the free-spirited ethos of 1960s design. The seat and backrest form a sculptural unity, and the organic shape – as the name suggests – is inspired by single-celled organisms.
