You'd be forgiven for thinking this room set photograph included the Panton chair. In fact, it's an image from Next's new Autumn/Winter collection, featuring their Panton lookalike, the curve chair.
It's got the same curves and plastic appeal as that iconic piece of 60s design. However, while the Panton chair is available from Vitra in a variety of colours, Next's version is only available in white.
The main noticeable difference between the two is the price. While you can get an official Panton chair for about £150, a pair of the curve chairs costs £125.

i’d rather pay another 25 quid and have the origial, bit of a “no-brainer” really.
fail…
That’ll be another £87.50 I’m afraid (the 125 quid buys two Next chairs). But yeah, even so, I’d still pony up for the real deal.
A fake is a fake.
