Vitra has created a collection of miniatures representing the great classics of the history of modern furniture. The structure, materials and colours are a faithful reproduction of the original piece down to the smallest detail, reduced to 1/6th scale. Each piece is hand-made, and the designer has agreed a licencing deal with producer Vitra for the entire collection. The Miniatures collection is exclusive to the Vitra Design Museum. A legendary sofa from the 70s, the Bocca mouth was created by Studio 65. Whatever models you own, these miniature pieces delivered in a wooden box are perfect for displaying throughout the house like precious collector's items.
Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is based near Basel, Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the design brand Vitra grew and opened many subsidiaries worldwide. The founders had spotted Eames Lounge Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames during a trip to New York, USA. They were immediately captivated and therefore requested a license to produce these pieces of furniture in Europe. In 1956, Vitra acquired this license, which became one of the keys to the brand's success.
