1820 Gartenstuhl Scale Model

£123.00

Scale model of the 'Gartenstuhl' cast iron garden chair by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, designed in 1820. Cast iron chairs were produced in large quantities from the mid eighteenth century but it was Schinkel's contribution with this chair that made economies of scale and efficient mass production possible.

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.
