Vitra Amoebe Armchair

Vitra Amoebe armchair was designed by Verner Panton in 1970. Thanks to its upholstered surfaces and the flexible back shell, Amoebe offers a high level of comfort. Both chair versions are available in a variety of brightly coloured fabric covers.The Amoebe Highback version of the chair has a flexible backrest that curves over the head of the sitter, forming a sculptural canopy. This striking accent gives the chair a sense of shelter and seclusion.

Verner Panton was an influential figure in the development of design during the 1960s and ’70s. After moving to Switzerland in the early 1960s, the Danish designer became known for his inventive, novel ideas for furnishings, lighting and textiles. The masterful use of colour was a hallmark of his work.
