This miniature Eames Lounge
and Ottoman celebrates
Charles and Ray Eames’
original design, which first
debuted in 1956 on the
Today Show. Now considered
a modern design classic,
the chair and ottoman were
originally designed as a gift
for the Eames’ friend
Billy Wilder.
Designed by Eero Saarinen,
the Tulip Chair won the
Museum of Modern Art Award
in 1969, among others. This
miniature rendering of the
iconic chair is recognized by
its defined pedestal base
and shapely seat, which is
accented by a contrasting
red cushion.
This Marshmallow Sofa is an
exact miniature of the original
1956 design. The sofa was
designed to provide joy and
drama to a space—the 10inch “marshmallow” cushions
provided a lighthearted
yet striking quality to the
piece that was atypical of
contemporary sofas.
This set of five miniature
Panton Chairs pays homage
to Verner Panton’s original
design. The Panton chair is
known for being crafted out
of a single material and mold,
and features a cantilevered
design. This set of five
miniatures can be stacked
to showcase the chair’s
distinctive stacking design.
