MINIATURE WORLD


Vitra Design Museum miniatures are great to accessorize your space, and whether a living room or a kids' bedroom, they're highly collectible items that captivate the attention of both adults and children.
Starting with miniature chairs from the beginning of the 19th century, the collection includes all the most significant design classics, such as La Chaise (seen here) by Charles & Ray Eames, Butterfly Stool by Sori Yanagi or Pastilli by Eero Aarnio.
Made by highly skilled craftsmen, the miniatures are exact reproductions of the full scale models, replicating the actual colours, materials and construction.

VITRA EVENT AT MADRID



Yesterday, at Vitra Madrid, has taken place a presentation of the new office furniture concept Net'N'Nest, introduced by Erwan Bouroullec, and when night came, there was a party celebrating the 100th anniversary of Charles Eames' birth.
Coming to an end at about 3 am, the party was a rather nice way not only to see the amazing changes in Vitra's showroom, but also have a glimpse of the latest work by the Bouroullec brothers.

JUNGLE FEVER


If you don’t feel like going to the zoo and see the elephants, why not bring one home with you? This wonderful mammal was one of Charles & Ray Eames’ favourite animals – lots of images of this amicable giant could be found in their photographic archive – and as a result, the american couple made one of the most desired pieces amongst collectors: the Eames Plywood Elephant.
Great for kids playing around, this friendly companion will certainly give your child hours of good clean fun. Reissued by Vitra in a limited edition of 1000 units, this amazing toy made of bent plywood is making great sucess with the most stylish children.
So hurry up and get yours!
