Eye Spy… Amoebe Chair by Verner Panton

Amoebe Chair, 1970 by Verner Panton for Vitra

I can say with confidence that this chair receives the most attention in the showroom from those looking for something off-beat, fun, and from those under the age of 15. Kids love this chair! (adults do too… they’re just, for the most part, more reserved about expressing unabashed glee for big purple chairs. Or yellow ones for that matter.

This chair also comes in an even cheekier version – the high back Amoebe. This design offers all the comfort of a lounge chair with a place to rest your head. It also has a little wrap over ceiling, you know, in case it starts to rain ;) The curved top edge further emphasizes that whimsy that Verner Panton is known and loved for.

This chair is certainly not short of character – it’s human like form is very expressive – see below… Amoebe: “Let me out to play!”
