Vitra Miniature Studio 65 Bocca 'Marilyn' Sofa
This is a scale model of the Studio 65 Bocca Sofa, designed in 1970. Originally called the Marilyn Sofa, it was named after Marilyn Monroe and pays homage to Salvador Dalí’s earlier Mae West sofa of 1936 and, as such, can be seen as an early example of redesign. With its anti-establishment connotations, Surrealism was highly influential to the 1960s and 1970s Anti-Design movement. Inspiration for this quintessential Pop design may also have come from Andy Warhol’s collection of silkscreens.
