Pantonova — Convex
Montana
by Verner Panton
This piece is part of the AAVVGG Archive and not currently part of the collection.
In 1971, Verner Panton designed the modular wire Pantonova seating system for the now-legendary Danish restaurant, Varna: the epitome of the 70s vibe, with its lavish, experimental shapes and vibrant colours. The Pantonova sofa gained further notoriety as the seat of choice of evil shipping tycoon Karl Stromberg in the 1977 James Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me.
Verner Panton was an avid creator and innovator of modular, iconic furniture that merged with its spatial context, transcending the category of furniture.
The Pantonova pieces - Linear, Convex, Concave - can each be used on their own or combined in an infinite number of combinations to suit any space such as a lobby, a cafe, break-out area, hallway or backyard.
The organic and geometrical shapes and the ethereal aesthetics of the Pantonova seating system makes it a perfect for outdoor seating situations.
Pantonova for outdoor use in stainless steel. The surface is electrically polished which is matte grey – and not glossy as the chrome surface we know for Panton wire furniture.
