Fresh Finds: An All-Seating Update with Verner Panton, Jan Kuypers, Eames + more

An early Verner Panton S-chair in glossy white for Herman Miller. What was to become heralded as the first single piece molded chair, the S-chair was actually based on an earlier design by Poul Kjaerholm, which was prototyped in wire and papier-mache in 1953. This example is from the 6th year of production, with a date stamp of 1973.



A pair of rare Nipigon chairs by Dutch designer Jan Kuypers. Crafted from solid birch, this design featured molded plywood panels and legs angled like the points of a compass, a theme prevalent among many designs of the time, including works by Jean Prouve, Pierre Jeanneret, Friso Kramer, and Allan Gould.
