Miniatures Tom Vac Chair

Description

Description
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.
The Tom Vac Chair Was First Realized As One Element In A Sculpture Consisting Of 70 Stacking Chairs Named Totem. Commissioned By The Magazine Domus, It Was Set Up In The Centre Of Milan During The Salone Del Mobile In 1997.
In Collaboration With Furniture Maker Vitra, Ron Arad Developed, Within A Very Short Time, A Version Of The Tom Vac Chair Suitable For Mass Production. Seen Within The Context Of Arad’S Complete Work, Which Is Largely Characterized By One Offs, The Chair Is Something Of An Innovation By Virtue Of Its Industrial And By Extension Inexpensive Production. While The Design Of The Tom Vac Chair Only Deviates Minimally From The First Plan, The Flexible Seat Shell Of Polypropylene Offers A High Degree Of Comfort.
