Story
A modular lounge system from 1971
Verner Panton designed the Pantonova system in 1971 as modular lounge furniture. Montana says it was first made in chrome-plated steel wire, a material that reflected its surroundings while the thin wire edges dissolved the space.
Three modules, many shapes
The Linear, Concave and Convex modules can be placed alone or joined into geometric and curved forms. Montana names a circle, a wave and an S as examples, and the same chairs are offered in Black Red powder coat and in stainless steel for outdoor use.
