Scale model of the Barrel Chair, originally designed by FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, for the D.D. Martin House in Buffalo, New York. The Barrel chair was a departure from the designers previous linear works, due to it's round shape.

Original features include a flared backrest, square spindle supports and a cushioned double-sided circular seat. The Vitra Design Museum edited this miniature in cooperation with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which features in the current exhibition in the Guggenheim Museum, NY.

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.
