Hive studio’s Vitra Miniatures will let furniture aficionados avoid having to choose one perfect chair to fit a certain space. And these chairs don’t have to go on the floor, either. You won’t gain any seating space, but you’ll gain plenty of style.
Vitra Miniatures are each handmade, with approximately five hours of crafting put into each one. The designs represent the best of modern chair design over the past hundred years.
The wide array of modern chair design would be perfect as a paperweight, a coffee table centerpiece, or—if you’re a really cool (and rich) parent—an elaborate dollhouse.
