On December 20, the Swiss furniture brand VITRA presented the final exhibition of the art project "Hommage to Suprematism", dedicated to the artistic rethinking of the design icon - the Panton Chair. The objects created by famous architects and designers of Moscow were presented to the guests of the ArchiNew Year 2015 evening, which has been held for the sixth year by the professional community ArchiPeople. The best object was determined by a popular vote, and its creator and other participants were awarded by VITRA. The venue was the Dominion Tower, Zaha Hadid's first completed project in Moscow.

The leader in terms of the number of votes cast was "Panton Evergreen" by Mike Shilov, an interior designer and teacher at the International School of Design. With Mike, the timeless design of the classic object has literally become evergreen: the back of the chair is covered with special interior moss. Keeping the original form unchanged, Mike brought an actual ecological touch to the object, while emphasizing with subtle humor that more than fifty years have passed since the creation of the legendary chair.

The rest of the participants presented no less original objects reflecting the infinite breadth of interpretations of the image of the legendary Panton Chair: the chair turned into a lamp (Elena Teplitskaya), an office chair (Arseny Leonovich), an architectural object in the spirit of Tatlin (Sergey Estrin) and even the language of a huge pug (ABD architects). The Panton Chair has got a Suprematist fur upholstery (Arseny Salnikov) and a cover (Alexey Kozyr). Fyodor Rashchevsky, in search of a supremus, expanded the shape of the Panton Chair to a polygonal structure. In Boris Voskoboinikov's object, the Black Square and the Panton Chair appeared on the same plane, while Natalia Belonogova's Black Square literally “swallowed” the chair, like an elephant boa in Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince.

The winner of the competition was presented by VITRA with a George Nelson Ball watch, and all other participants in the competition were awarded wooden figures of Wooden Dolls by Alexander Girard, another famous representative of American modernism. The same figures, only in an enlarged form, invited the guests of the evening to take a vivid photo for memory.

The VITRA art project became a dedication to revolutionaries-devotees from art, design and architecture. In the near future, the objects of the competition are supposed to be put up for a charity auction.
