Panton’s furniture immediately makes me think of the Jetson’s cartoon. The designs are obscure and are an experiment in science fiction or futuristic form. His chairs come in all sorts of shapes and colours, and he also uses a large variety in materials. He would go from making a chair that is entirely bent wood, and then use a combination of fabric, foam and metal on the next design. The chair he is most known for is his Panton Chair which was the “First single unit cantilevered chair made of moulded plastic” - vernerpanton.com.
