Miniature Garden Chair by Karl Friedrich Schinkel 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.

Schinkel’s Garden Chair pairs an ornamental back with flowing arms and legs. The 1820 design reflects an early chapter in industrial furniture making, when metal casting opened up new ways to reproduce intricate forms.

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.
