Searching for the perfect gift for your mid century modern enthusiast?
We've found 5 iconic modernist chairs for just a fraction of the cost...and a fraction of the size.
mid century modern pendant chairs
Tiny Little Chairs, located in Montreal, designs and hand makes, well, tiny little chairs. Each miniature chair pendant pays homage to the iconic designers of the era who changed design forever. Design principles began to change, shifting focus to function and simple aesthetic, while making use of innovative techniques. They stripped down furniture to it's bones, relieving it of its former useless decadence. Which brings me to my next quandary: would the past designers of function approve of the diminutive objects, simply worn as décor?
The first series by Bruxe Design includes the “Scoop Chair”, the “Pavilion Chair” (Barcelona Chair by Mies van der Rohe), the “Dining Chair”, the “Bent Chair” (Eames style bent plywood chair) and the “Work Chair”.
Chair prices start at $90 depending on material.
