Vitra - Miniatuur Lockheed Lounge

Vitra Miniature Lockheed Lounge.

This miniature was designed in 1986 by Marc Newson.

The Lockheed Lounge is a 1986 design by Marc Newson, which he designed just after he left school.

Thanks to an exhibition in Sydney, publications about the Lockheed lounge chair appeared around the world, and it immediately became a success story.

The identical miniature of the Lockheed Lounge is of course equally fascinating, beautiful in detail.

The chair has a width of 10.5 centimeters, a depth of 27.5 centimeters and a height of 14.7 centimeters.

Note: the scale of the miniature is 1:6.

Miniaturization means concentration: Vitra Design Museum faithfully recreates furniture design classics in miniaturized three-dimensional form. Many of these designs, such as Le Corbusier's chaise longue or Gerrit Rietveld's red and blue chair, are today as widely known as the most celebrated works of art and are coveted by museums and collectors around the world. These miniatures illustrate at a glance what design means and what role it plays in the industrial production process.
