The Miniatures Collection presents the most important classics of modern furniture history in miniature. The construction, materials and colours correspond to the historical Vitra Design Museum collection original, right down to the last detail. Because they are so true to the originals, the miniatures are not only valuable collector`s items, but also ideal illustrative material for universities, colleges of design and architects. For each miniature there is a licence agreement with the designer or their estate. Many designers collaborate with us to develope the miniatures of their own designs and offer their assistance by supplying information on the objects. In return, we honour the designer`s copyright by paying royalties.
Sori Yanagi, 1954. In a totally unique way The Butterfly Stool blends Eastern shapes with the technique developed by Charles and Ray Eames of shaping plywood. The gently curved silhouette is reminiscent of the wings of a butterfly. Laquered moulded plywood, brass fixings.
