Miniature Armchair No. 42 by Alvar Aalto for Vitra
1:6-scale collector’s miniature. This is a small display model, not full-size furniture and not intended for seating.
Part of the Vitra Design Museum Miniatures Collection, this piece brings furniture history into a collectible format. Its reduced scale invites a close look at the design, proportions and construction. Please review the dimensions and packaging photographs before ordering.
Alvar Aalto’s Armchair No. 42 combines the warmth of birch with a sweeping cantilever frame and a curved seat shell. First presented in 1932, the design connects Scandinavian woodworking traditions with the functional thinking of the Bauhaus.
Made by the Vitra Design Museum at a scale of 1:6, this collectible chair miniature reproduces the proportions and construction details of the original. It offers a close look at furniture design in a size suited to display, study or a gift for a design enthusiast.
Presented in Vitra wooden-box packaging for storage or display.
