# New swing

With "EVO-C" for Vitra, Jasper Morrison translates the features of the classic tubular steel cantilever chair into polypropylene and gives it a new flexibility.

10/23/2020

[Verner Panton](https://www.stylepark.com/en/designer/verner-panton) launched the first cantilever chair made of polyprobylene in 1967 with the "[Panton Chair](https://www.stylepark.com/en/vitra/panton-chair-classic)" in collaboration with [Vitra](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/vitra). This is one of the icons of modern design and is still produced by Vitra today. In 2008 "[Myto](https://www.stylepark.com/en/plank/myto)" by [Konstantin Grcic](https://www.stylepark.com/en/designer/konstantin-grcic) followed for [Plank](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/plank). "[EVO-C](https://www.stylepark.com/en/vitra/evo-c)" by [Jasper Morrison](https://www.stylepark.com/en/designer/jasper-morrison) for Vitra was recently presented at the Vitra Summit: It offers the strength of a tubular steel cantilever construction, which is achieved using the internal gas pressure process during injection moulding of the polypropylene. At the same time, "EVO-C" surpasses the suspension features of tubular steel, as with greater flexibility of the backrest. For the seated person, this means greater comfort and ergonomic freedom of motion. In form, "EVO-C" is sculptural and clear – the unity of the material creates seamless interfaces. To start with the new cantilever chair by Vitra is available in the matt colours ivory, soft mint and poppy red. (am)
