    Miniatures Lockheed Lounge

    View All Vitra

    Miniatures Lockheed Lounge

    ****USUALLY SHIPS IN 8-10 WEEKS****

    Design Marc Newson, 1986
    Fiberglass, rubber, riveted sheet aluminum

    Made in Germany by Vitra

    Marc Newson originally produced the Lockheed Lounge as the centerpiece of an exhibition of his pieces at the Roslyn Oxley Gallery in Sydney. It was widely acclaimed and was bought by the National Gallery of Australia.

    Its concept was based »loosely, very loosely« on the chaise longue in Jacques-Louis DavidÙs 1800 portrait of Madame Recamier.I had this image of a fluid, aluminium form. The shape was sculpted out of a piece of foam, the exact same way youÙd create a surfboard. The only way to get the aluminium on was to beat little pieces of metal into shape with a wooden mallet and attach them with rivets. ThatÙs where the airplane metaphor came from. So I called it the Lockheed Lounge.

    Dimensions: 3.5" W X 4" D X 4.5" H
