The Wire Chair was designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1951 and they used the shape of the Fiberglass Chair. This chair is built of steel wire which is chrome plated, and makes it look light. It is transparent and seems to be sketch in a 3D design software. It can come with a leather cushion or a fabric inter-linked in the wires. The legs are made of tubular steel, chrome plated and they have an Eiffel tower shape and the cups from the end of the legs give it a lot of stability. At the Vitra Design Museum you can see these chairs in the Miniatures Collection which correspond to the originals in the last detail. Dimensions: 8cm x 9.3cm x 13.1cm

Designed: 1951

The Bamsestol – Bear chair, also known as Papa Bear Chair, was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1951. Since then, until 2003 it hasn’t been produced anymore. The stuffing takes 6 days to be manually fitted. This makes the chair perfect – not too soft, not too hard, like a teddy bear hug. It has wooden legs and the tapestry can be leather or fabric in various colors. The arms are wood-tipped which gives it an special organic feeling, like the paws of a bear. The paws can be made of various wood: oak, cherry, rosewood or teak. Its dimensions are: 35.4″ W x 37.4″ D x 39.8″ H
