Hey guys,
I cannot afford the original Panton Chair available at DWR. Anyone who has bought them for elsewhere and know they are reproduced a close match and quality? I know some sites sell two for $300 or so. I'm looking for a set of two in red glossy. I want to know someone who has bought them some a specific place since the internet as a lot of places listed. Thanks!

Vitra makes these as well now, I think they're pretty cheap since they're just made out of polypropylene...

So it's supposed to be a famous design?
I'm not fishing for an argument, but it just looks like a cheap plastic moulded chair to me.
- That is my 2cents of sensible observation, by the way.Raniator
- original ones were made out of fibreglass, the new ones are polypropylene...neue75_bold
- My mistake. I obviously don't know my expense but cheap looking polypropylene chairs.Raniator

speaking of 2cents.... where is 2cents?

Panton was the first in the world to create a form-moulded chair in plastics without any joints. His plastic Panton chair, a one-piece cantilevered design made in candy-apple colors, has been in production continuously since 1967, and its sinuous shape became synonymous with 1960's pop culture.
- Thank god. Thx.saunakspace
- Exactly. 1960's pop culture. 1960's. Great in an exhibition, naff in your home.Walker2

Raniator. Listen. Call it cheap, tacky whatever you want. You have not seen it for real. Besides, simple design does that to ppl. It makes them feel to lame. So yes. I agree.
- easy lad
just having a laugh ffsWeLoveNoise - Actually, I have seen it 'for real', yo. And yes, and just having a laugh. So calm the fuck down, Grandad.Raniator
