Vitra Miniature Tempered Chair (1986)

For over two decades, the Vitra Design Museum has been making miniature replicas of milestones in furniture design from its collection. 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 color. The high standard of authenticity even extends to the natural grain of the wood, the reproduction of screws and the elaborate handicraft techniques involved. This has made the miniatures into popular collector's items as well as ideal illustrative material for universities, design schools and architects.

The original of the Well Tempered Chair was designed by Ron Arad in 1986 and has been produced since 1986-1987 as a 1: 1 model by Vitra AG, Basel / Switzerland.

The miniature offered by Vitra (scale 1: 6) is made of spring steel.
