Embroidered Pillows - Double Heart 2, blue
vitra > Styling
The designer Alexander Girard drew wide acclaim with his interior concept for the legendary Miller House (1953-57), for which he personally selected each individual object. The centrepiece of the house was a so-called 'conversation pit', a sunken seating area in the living room, with built-in sofas covered in fabrics by Girard and decorated with embroidered pillows made specifically for this setting. <br/><br/>Girard's famous 'double heart' motif was used and varied by the designer throughout his lifetime. It is composed of two intersecting S's that form a continuous loop of mirrored hearts. Each S represents the first letter of the pet names used by Girard and his wife – Sandro and Susie – which prompted him to name the double heart symbol '<a href="/en-me/magazine/details/sansusi">Sansusi</a>'.<br/><br/>The embroidered pillow with the 'Double Heart 2' motif was created by Alexander Girard for the Miller family in 1975 – 20 years after the completion of the Miller House.<br/>

Eames Fiberglass Armchair LAR
vitra > Chair
The Shell Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames are among the most important designs in the history of furniture. Following their initial presentation at the 'Low Cost Furniture Design' competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art in 1948, the chairs were launched on the market in 1950 in an armchair version (A-shell) and as a simpler side chair (S-shell) – making them the first ever mass-produced chairs made of plastic. <br/><br/>With the debut of this revolutionary design, Charles and Ray Eames introduced a new furniture typology that has since spread around the globe: the multifunctional chair whose shell can be joined with a variety of different bases. Already in 1950, they presented a series of bases that enabled various sitting positions, including the low-slung LAR (Lounge Height Armchair Rod Base) with a geometric steel wire base, which quickly acquired the charming nickname 'Cat's Cradle' in reference to the children's string game. <br/><br/>The LAR seems to have been one of Charles and Ray's favourite designs: it can be spotted in numerous vintage photographs of the legendary Eames House in Pacific Palisades, both indoors and out. This also reveals how lightweight the chair is, and how easily it can be moved around.<br/><br/>Due to the organic shape of this classic armchair, the LAR is a striking solo piece, but it can also be paired with many types of sofas to create an appealing contrast. The LAR is offered as the Plastic Chair LAR with a polypropylene shell, or as the Fiberglass Chair LAR with a fibreglass shell that draws attention to the lively texture so valued by connoisseurs. The fascination of fibreglass lies in its irregular surface, whose clearly visible fibres make it appear almost like a natural material. The Fiberglass Chair LAR is not offered with full upholstery in order to show off the unique characteristics of this material to maximum effect. However, a comfortable seat cushion is optionally available.
Desk Clock - Cone Base Clock
vitra > Styling
The many accessories created for the home by George Nelson include a variety of table clocks.

Elephant Stool
vitra > Stool
As one of the most famous objects of Japanese post-war design, the Elephant Stool was created by the prolific product designer Sori Yanagi. The stackable plastic stool can be used both indoors and outside.
Suita Club Sofa
vitra > Sofa
The Suita Club Sofa was developed for use in offices, waiting areas and lobbies. The construction and workmanship are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of such public areas. The upholstery of the backrest ensures a high degree of comfort without the need for additional cushions.
Eames Plastic Armchair DAL
vitra > Chair
The seat shells of the Eames Plastic Chairs can be combined with a variety of different bases. The base for the DAL chair (Dining Height Armchair La Fonda Base) was developed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1961 for the legendary New York restaurant La Fonda del Sol, whose interior was designed by their friend Alexander Girard. With its central pedestal consisting of four parallel shafts that split at the bottom to form a four-star base, it is one of the most elegant and unconventional bases ever designed by the Eameses.
Zoo Timers - Fernando the Fish
vitra > Styling
The Zoo Timers (1965) by George Nelson – wall clocks in the form of colourfully hand-drawn characters from the animal kingdom – offer children a playful and enjoyable approach to telling the time.
Elliptical Table ETR
vitra > Coffee table
The expansive, elegant ETR sofa table by Charles and Ray Eames comes with tops in a choice of black or white and a wire base with a chrome-plated or black powder-coated finish. On account of its elliptical shape, it quickly acquired the nickname 'surfboard table'.
Allstar
vitra > Office Chair
The Allstar office chair by Konstantin Grcic imparts a relaxed home-like feel and sense of familiarity. Its rounded form exudes comfort and yields a calming influence on the fast-paced dynamic of today's offices. Allstar also satisfies all the necessary functions of a task chair, allowing it to be used wherever high functional performance is desired but a classic office chair would not be appropriate for aesthetic reasons – an especially ideal choice for modern workplace concepts.
Heart Cone Chair
vitra > Chair
The Heart Cone Chair takes its name from the expressive, heart-shaped silhouette of its seat shell. Designed by Verner Panton in the late 1950s, the chair combines a comfortably upholstered seat with an understated, elegant base made of satin stainless steel.
Joyn 2 Meet
vitra > Table
Joyn 2 Meet offers meeting tables ranging from 120 x 80 cm to 900 x 180 cm. The base can be configured in diverse shapes and sizes for sitting or standing-height tables – on either glides or castors. Furniture on castors promotes dynamic work methods in the office, while variants with glides enable electrification cables to be concealed in the table legs.
Nuage
vitra > Styling
The Nuage vases produce an attractive interplay of light and shadow with their undulating shape and anodised aluminium finish in various colours. Flowers and grasses can be arranged in each cluster of eight individual tubes, and thanks to their precise outer contours, the vases can also be fitted together to create entire 'cloud formations'.
Organic Chair
vitra > Chair
Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen created the Organic Chair in 1940 as part of their entry for 'Organic Design in Home Furnishings', a competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The small reading chair offers superb comfort, thanks to its comfortably upholstered, biomorphically shaped seat shell, and is also available in a version with a higher backrest: Organic Highback.
Wall Clocks - Sunburst Clock
vitra > Styling
