1:6 Design Miniature Chairs

danishminis_atla07.jpg

Not everyone can afford Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair, nor does everyone have space for one. But now you can fulfill your collecting desires at 1:6 scale with these miniatures of danish furniture classics constructed to the exact specifications of design and materials at a scale of 1:6 from aptly named 1:6 Design. Perfect for adorning and decorating bookshelves for that MidCentury design lover in your life.

 
 

The shell of the miniatures are constructed of 4 layers of sl iced beech veneer and 2 layers of cotton canvas. The painting process is similar to the one applied to the original fullscale chair. The frame and the other parts consist of the same materials as the famous chairs and for that purpose special tools are developed. The small-scale models are not only a faithful replica, it also "feels" like the originals.

Both miniature chairs are available in natural beech and lacquer shades: black, white, red, blue, yellow, light grey and lime. Each miniature chair is delivered in a specially designed box, with a 16 page colour leaflet, summarizing briefly about the archicture and design of Arne Jacobsen.

Also perfect for Barbie's Dream House (or for GI Joe and Ken to shack up together, if you'd prefer).

If the price is 1:6, I will wait. I bet that GI Joe and Ken will wait as well. It seems that neither one is employed.
