Vitra - Miniatures 42 Armchair Alvar Aalto

Vitra Miniatures Armchair 42.

Exact replicas of the originals in both material and design, these pieces of furniture are true little works of art.

Everything is scrupulously respected in the manufacture of these replicas: the structure, the materials and the colors are identical to the original work. Originally conceived from a purely educational perspective, the concept gradually turned into collectibles.

The big names in design appear in this Vitra collection, such as Breuer, Thonet, Mies Van der Rohe, Eames, Verner Panton, Saarinen.

A design by the very famous Alvar Aalto from Finland from 1930/1931, it was first presented at an exhibition held in collaboration with the Nordic Building Forum in 1932. Thanks to the simple three-piece construction, the design ensures a high degree of comfort: the cantilevered base bends in response to the user's weight and the plywood seat shell follows the contours of the body.

Material: Miniature chair made of birch wood. Comes in a beautiful gift box from the Vitra Design Museum.

Dimensions: Height: 12.2 cm x Width: 12 cm x Depth: 10 cm Scale ratio 1:6.
