For anyone with an unusual penchant for chairs we would like to present this art piece. If, like us, you enjoy this furniture element for it's form and function, if you've ever visited adoring sites, or if you own more chairs than necessary, you might love this paper cutout paying homage to seating.
This limited edition laser cut of classic chairs from the 20th century, aptly titled "Chairs" is a beautiful graphic image, cut from paper, that highlights some of the most iconic seating. Eames, Corbusier and Wassily are all present and accounted for, and available here until the edition sells out. We'd love one of these displayed proudly in our dining room, where we have more chairs than friends, at times!

Can anyone out there explain the miniature chair thing to me? I don't understand the appeal. Is it just that you love them but can't afford the human-size versions? Or is it a modernist doll house thing?
I'm genuinely puzzled and intrigued.
I recently acquired this piece and I can attest that it is FAR more fabulous in person! I can't wait to have it framed.
I love it! Dearmisha, here's my take on it: This is a to-do list. Let's be real, there's a lot of dollars represented in that cut-out, and as a fresh-out-of-college, first-time-homeowner who likes to make to-do lists, I will get the cut-out because the chairs are all really beautifully designed, and then once I've "made it," I'll have them all checked off and life size, in person, in my own possession.

The Vitra chair miniatures are not cheap (nor are they doll-house scale), but I'd compare it to someone who collects scale models of classic cars. There is beauty to the original, and serious art in the miniaturized reproductions.
It's also a way to fit 20 gorgeous chairs in a NY studio apartment.
kdenning,
How are you going to frame it? Do you have a mat behind it?
Thank you.
The Vitra chair miniatures are beautifully finished just like the bigger versions. Like Patrick says, it's the way to fit 20 gorgeous chairs into an apartment.
dearmisha, I love tiny chairs as "art objects" -- some people like little ceramic deer or gnomes or crystal perfume bottles. It's just a different take on a fun thing to collect, and if you have various styles (I had some dollhouse chairs that were victorian and farmhouse, for instance) it can make an amusing display. Anti-clutter types would not find them minimalistic enough, I presume.
Kathryn1123 - I plan to frame it exactly as it shows on the site (the bottom photo). Just a simple white mat and a slim black frame.

Get your framer to do it in such a way that you don't lose the cut-paper aspect of this... which (to me) is where the beauty lies.
And do a much w-i-i-i-i-i-i-d-e-r mat.
Love these! My cut out art http://papercutworks.blogspot.com/ is nowhere near as intricate & I prefer to work with outdated dictionaries & maps, music sheets, etc, but these solid pieces are classic!
