This miniature was designed in 1949 by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The master of American modern architecture Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Taliesin West Armchair in 1949.

The Taliesin West Armchair is known as the most special and comfortable design of all the chairs that Frank Lloyd Wright has ever created. Frank Lloyd Wright originally designed this for his own private home.

The Taliesin West Armchair is made of plywood, which was very special at the time.

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.
