Why build a Panton chair when you can just carve your own out of wood like Peter Jakubik? The Hobby Panton chair was carved with a chainsaw out of a block of wood and is designed to look like the iconic Panton S chair from the legendary Dutch designer Verner Panton.
Jakubik created the Hobby Panton chair to show designers that making your own Panton chair is as easy as carving up a discarded stump. It may also be a good idea to familiarize yourself with a chain saw before you begin carving your own Panton S chair.
