The Miniatures Collection presents the most important classics of modern furniture history in miniature. The construction, materials and colours correspond to the historical Vitra Design Museum collection original, right down to the last detail. Because they are so true to the originals, the miniatures are not only valuable collector`s items, but also ideal illustrative material for universities, colleges of design and architects. For each miniature there is a licence agreement with the designer or their estate. Many designers collaborate with us to develope the miniatures of their own designs and offer their assistance by supplying information on the objects. In return, we honour the designer`s copyright by paying royalties. Charles & Ray Eames, 1945. Charles and Ray Eames spent many years experimenting with new processes for optimizing the way three-dimensionally moulded plywood fits the contours of the body. Today, LCW, with its moulded plywood seat, backrest and base, is once again available with a hide cover, as was the case when it was launched in 1946. Moulded ash plywood; the seat and backrest sections connected to the base by means of rubber/metal elements (shock mounts). Dimensions: H 113 x W 92 x D 101mm |
