Many young people who have renovated their homes have coveted it, but not many people actually own it. It’s not that it’s hard to buy (there are a lot of imitations on the market), but it’s really too fashionable. Without a design that is equally fashionable, it can’t be suppressed at all...

In 1959, Pan Dong had designed this S-shaped single-body cantilever chair according to the human body curve. However, at that time there was no material that could provide support for the cantilever design of the chair, so the Pan Dong chair became just a piece of paper talk for Pan Dong.

It was not until 1968 that Panton found a plastic called reinforced polyester, and the Panton chair was able to transform from a design draft into a one-piece physical product that could be mass-produced. Soon, as the world's first plastic chair, it became popular around the world with its unique features such as futuristic and streamlined, and became a "guest of honor" in various fashion occasions, and this treatment has continued to this day.
