"Calla" Side Chair (model no. 1005)
Designer William Sawaya
Manufacturer Heller Incorporated
Not on view
In 1960 Verner Panton designed the first injection molded, single material, monoblock stacking chair. Building on this concept forty years later, Sawaya reinvented the concept. Advances in technology allow his dynamic design to be both bolder and lighter than its predecessor. Inexpensive and easy to mass produce, this chair is eminently practical—it can be stacked and used indoors or out—as well as comfortable, and brings affordable high quality design to the general public.
