Easy Series chair, sofa and pouf one of Verner Panton’s most eye-catching silhouettes – Verpan

One of Verner Panton’s first designs exploring adventurous furniture for lounging and socialising, Easy Series stands for pure comfort and joie de vivre.

Easy Series – chair, sofa and pouf – is, without doubt, one of Verner Panton’s most eye-catching silhouettes. The German furniture brand Kill approached the designer in the early 60s, asking him to create an exhibition stand for the influential Cologne Furniture Fair. Their brief simply stated: “Make us famous!” The rest is, as we say, history. Panton created the Easy Series – a radically new take on soft seating – and the exhibition became the sensation of the fair in 1964.

Originally made for public spaces, Easy Series has since found its way into countless homes, a comfortable and intuitive design that speaks to many. Its sculptural round shape has a graphic character, with a three-piece layered design and plush seating that makes Easy chair, sofa and pouf natural stand-out pieces. Now, the dimensions have been adjusted for optimal comfort.

Easy chair is a lounge chair that offers generous seating, with a large U-shaped enveloping backrest that doubles as an armrest as you change your seating position. Easy pouf is made to be used alongside Easy sofa and Easy chair, or on its own.

Verner Panton
Born in 1926, Verner Panton came to represent a new direction and energy in Danish design history – deeply original, daringly experimental – for close to five decades. Creating visually distinctive furniture, lighting and objects as well as immersive interiors, his spirit and work remains radically ahead of the curve. Concerned with the future and our capacity to imagine it, his vast output is full of vibrant and playful pieces with a social character, made to be enjoyed, for pleasure.

VERPAN – for Verner Panton – is a design company working closely with Verner Panton Design AG to preserve, reissue and recontextualise the Danish architect and designer’s radiant body of work – from minute objects to immersive environments. Verner Panton’s lighting and furniture is testament to a playful and unconventional spirit, spanning his most celebrated work and recently rediscovered pieces.
