Can anybody please help and tell me how to tell an original panton stacking chair from a replica. I have to go look at 4 chairs a guy claims to have from and is selling for £300.
thanks

This is a rather simple one...
After a lot of trials and errors in painted solid foam (BASF)and other "new" plastics, the original chairs were made in glass fiber reenforced polyester. Vitra re-edited them in a re-enforced Polypropylene. The original is glossy and heavier, the re-edition has a textured surface is injection moulded and is substantially lighter. If you are familiar with the way polyester is finished (re-polished at the edges) versus a parting line from an injection moulded piece, that is a very safe indication to.
Someone lucky enough to own one might fill you in on the markings, but I suspect that because of the technology the original is not as detailed as the injection moulded one.
I have one original Panton ...
I have one original Panton fiberglass/plastic chair from the 70 s and it is like heavy glass and has the Herman Miller stamp , i paid 50 bucks at a estate sale for that one ,
I bought 4 on line for around the swimming pool in white and they were really nice, they came from Alphaville, I drilled a hole so the water would drain out as i had heard you do not want that old water sitting on the seat, I have to admit for a reproduction it is pretty good and nice and heavy, and for a chair around the pool it is perfect, they also make a indoor one for double the price that they say is great, like who really cares about the out door chairs, Who ever molded these did a good job,

The Panton Chair is a design classic chair by Verner Panton from the 60s. The plastic cantilever chair was updated in , so it is now available in new colors as well as an adjusted seat height of 44 cm, making it even more comfortable. Also new are the already integrated glides that prevent scratching of the floor surface
The today's Panton Chair from Vitra convinces with numerous features that make it special: It can bear loads of up to 120 kg and is therefore extremely stable, with a low dead weight. So cantilever chair is undoubtedly suitable for a variety of areas and purposes, whether as a dining chair or for outdoor use, where it can serve as a modern garden chair.
