In 1970, Verner Panton designed the Visiona stool, now produced by Vitra, as part of the interior installation created for his legendary exhibition "Visiona" in Cologne. Its minimalist geometrical shape makes Visiona a timeless piece, easy to integrate into any space in the home and that goes well with all styles of furniture. Small and light, it can be moved as needed and is suitable for both domestic (children's room, living room...) and professional environments. The cover is secured with an elastic band, making it easy to remove and clean.

Born in 1926 in Gamtofte, Denmark, Verner Panton attended technical school in Odense and then studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Verner Pantonwas employed in Arne Jacobsen's architectural practice and founded his own architecture and design studio in 1955. Verner Panton's furniture based on geometric shapes, manufactured by the "Plus-linje" company brought him public attention for the first time. Verner Panton's predilection for bright colours and geometric shapes is evident in his many textile creations, such as the cushions in the "Textiles of the 20th Century" collection. His interior designs, aimed at blending furniture, lighting, textiles and wall panels into an indivisible unit, are legendary. Verner Panton's famous collaboration with Vitra began in the early 1960s. He then developed his most famous creation, the Panton chair, presented in 1967. It is also the first product to be manufactured by Vitra on its own account. Verner Panton died in 1998 in Copenhagen. Regarded today as one of the most influential masters in the world of 20th-century Design, Verner Panton leaves behind an innovative, futuristic style using mainly brightly coloured plastic and favouring generous, atypical shapes, such as his iconic luminaires published by Verpan. Today, the iconic designs of Verner Panton are still in great demand.
