Vitra - Miniatures Johnson Wax Chair

Vitra Miniature Johnson Wax Chair.

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 Thonet, Mies Van der Rohe, Eames, Verner Panton, Saarinen.

The Johnson Wax Chair was initially designed for the Johnson Wax Headquarters, the headquarters of S. C. Johnson & Son in Racine, Wisconsin US.

The building and the chair were designed by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The chair officially only had three legs, but the employees of the Johnson Wax Headquarters found this so annoying that Frank Lloyd Wright adjusted the chairs upon request.

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

Dimensions: Height: 14.4 cm x Width: 10 cm x Depth: 8 cm, Scale ratio 1:6.

About the designer:

Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect and writer whose distinct style helped him become one of the greatest forces in American architecture. After his studies he became chief assistant to architect Louis Sullivan. Wright subsequently founded his own firm and developed a style known as the Prairie School, which sought an "organic architecture" in residential and commercial building designs. During his career he created countless iconic buildings around the world.
