Vitra - Barrel Chair miniature

The Vitra Design Museum has created miniature replicas of the milestones of furniture design in its collection. The Miniatures Collection encompasses the entire history of industrial furniture design, moving from historicism and art nouveau to the Bauhaus and the new objectivity, from radical design and postmodernism to the present day.Exactly 1/6 the size of the historical originals, the chairs are all scaled and recreate with precision the smallest details of construction, material, color. The high standard of authenticity also extends to the natural grain of the wood, the reproduction of the vines and the elaborate artisanal techniques involved. This made miniatures popular collectibles, as well as artwork ideal for universities, design schools and architects.
