Eames Style Chair
1950
Charles and Ray Eames
Mass production of previous models made from metal proved as too expensive. As a consequence of this, the company Zenith made an adaptation out of fiberglass. Later the first commercial sitting furniture family was created in collaboration with Herman Miller. First, the seat shell variations were sold with a choice of different frames. You could choose wooden legs, tubular steel legs, a wire frame with a four-star foot and one central chair leg or the ironic structural wire brace. There were also a stocking version and a rocking chair available.
Panton chair
1967
VITRA – Verner Panton
This chair was designed by one of the most influential designers of the 1960s and ´70s – Verner Panton, born in Denmark. He became known for his original and imaginative designs in the fields of furniture, textiles and lighting. Creating a comfortable, all-purpose plastic chair moulded in a single piece was one of his ambitions. He had been looking for a manufacturer for a long time when he first had a contact with Vitra in 1963. The Panton Chair was then developed by Vitra and finally introduced to the public in 1967. This piece of furniture received numerous awards and one of the first models belongs to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Panton chair is available with a lacquered finish in black, white or red.

Em table

This table was designed by Jean Prouvé in 1950 and produced by Vitra. Following in the footsteps of such iconic designs as the Parsons table or the Eames Round, he exhibits a dynamic relationship between the base and tabletop. Legs are made of sheet metal and each of them is turned out and angled on a diagonal slant. This is to distribute the downward flow of energy on the table. Sturdy surface is suitable for working or even dining. The top of the table is finished in smooth oak veneer. Prové EM table was reproduced to strict standards by Vitra and made in Germany.
