Scale model of the Seggiolina da Pranzo Chair by Ettore Sottsass, designed in 1980. This was designed from industrially produced components and was intended as an ironic comment on design. Through its use of plastic laminates - strongly associated with 1950s kitsch - the chair can be seen as an antecedent of later Memphis designs.
As part of the Vitra Design Museum collection these miniature editions of classic chairs all form part of modern furniture design history.
The construction, materials and colours correspond to the historical Vitra Design Museum collection originals, 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 materials for universities, design colleges and architects.
