Amoebe Armchair by Verner Panton for Vitra
The center is made of textured laminate, covered with polyurethane foam
The chair is upholstered in orange fabric
The upholstery is removable and can be replaced or reattached
The Amoeba chair was designed in 1970 in several versions for the famous installation “Visiona II”—a bold living space, both psychedelic and futuristic, which the legendary Danish architect and designer had exhibited on a boat during the Cologne Furniture Fair
Designed as a low lounge chair, the Amoeba embodies the free-spirited design of the 1960s
The seat and backrest form a sculptural whole, and the organic shape is inspired—as its name suggests—by single-celled organisms
The chair’s plush upholstery ensures excellent comfort
In good vintage condition; the fabric has faded in some places
65 cm wide, 86 cm deep and 82 cm high, seat height 35 cm
A mid-century design that is playful, organic, and ergonomic
