Collection Story
Origin
The Wire Stool Collection groups three Verner Panton pieces on &Tradition's product pages: the Wire Stool VP11, the Wire Stool Marble Top VP11 and the Wire Stool Seat Pad VP11, all dated 1981 on the manufacturer's pages. They are the stool and two additions made for it. The stool itself began in the Panton family's private use, as a journal article from &Tradition recounts.

Design Language
The stool is built from stainless-steel wire, and the two accessories are made to fit its shape: the marble top rests on the stool's concentric contours, and the seat pad attaches to its magnetic centre plate. The three pieces together turn a stackable stool into a side table or a cushioned seat.
Key Pieces
- Wire Stool VP11: the stackable stool in Mirror Polished Steel.
- Wire Stool Marble Top VP11: a marble table top for the stool, listed in Bianco Carrara.
- Wire Stool Seat Pad VP11: a magnetic seat pad developed with the Panton family, in four colours.
