In this SolidWorks tutorial I will show you how to model the famous Panton Chair in SolidWorks. Although the design of this organic chair dates from the sixties, it’s still a modern design chair. The designer of this chair is Verner Panton. He was one of the most influential industrial designers of the sixties and seventies.
Verner Panton was born in Denmark and later relocated to Switzerland. He became famous for his original and modern furniture designs. The Panton Chair is for sure one of the most recognizable chairs in the world. The design of this chair was inspired by the Zigzag chair of Gerrit Rietveld.
One of the ambitions of Verner Panton was to create a plastic chair molded in one single piece. Panton searched a long time for a manufacturer of this modern chair. Finally he found the company Vitra to develop the chair for series production. The Panton chair received many different awards and is now recognized as a classic of modern furniture design.
Because the shape of this chair is so organic and challenging (especially for SolidWorks users) I thought it would be great to make a SolidWorks tutorial about this chair.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use the following functions:
Draw 2D Sketches
Draw 3D Sketches
Insert a Blueprint or Reference Picture
Improve the shape of a Spline
Create new Planes
Create Projected Curves
Pierce Multiple Sketches with each other
Create Surface Lofts
Use Guide Curves
Hide Bodies
Hide Pictures
Knit Surfaces
Solidify Surface Bodies
Create Fillets
Create Variable Fillets
Change Display Styles
Mirror and Merge bodies
Change Colors
Create Wall Thickness
I hope you will learn something from it! Feel free to share this tutorial with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin with the social sharebar at the left side. I am also looking forward to your opinion about LearnSolidWorks.com

Can I get help from this website if I ask for something about solidworks here? When I face any problem during designing in solidworks I seek help from someone or I search online. But most of the time, online help is not of much use because it cannot satisfy my specific query on a particular problem. I wish that this website will help me in this regard.
