The Miniatures Collection Encapsulates The Entire History Of Industrial Furniture Design – Moving From Historicism And Art Nouveau To The Bauhaus And New Objectivity, From Radical Design And Postmodernism All The Way Up To The Present Day.
Exactly One-Sixth The Size Of The Historical Originals, The Chairs Are All True To Scale And Precisely Recreate The Smallest Details Of Construction, Material And Colour.
Marc Newson Originally Produced The Lockheed Lounge As The Centrepiece Of An Exhibition Of His Pieces At The Roslyn Oxley Gallery In Sydney. It Was Widely Acclaimed And Was Bought By The National Gallery Of Australia.
Its Concept Was Based "Loosely, Very Loosely" On The Chaise Lounge In Jacques-Louis David’S 1800 Portrait Of Madame Recamier. Newson Had This Image Of A Fluid, Aluminium Form. The Shape Was Sculpted Out Of A Piece Of Foam, The Exact Same Way You’D Create A Surfboard. The Only Way To Get The Aluminium On Was To Beat Little Pieces Of Metal Into Shape With A Wooden Mallet And Attach Them With Rivets. That’S Where The Airplane Metaphor Came From. So I Called It The Lockheed Lounge.
