The highlight of the collection consists of five re-editions of design classics by Charles and Ray Eames: the Eames Elephant in black, the Hang it all coat rack in black and brown, the RAR rocking armchair in basic dark, the LTR occasional table in black and three more new colours, and George Nelson’s Triangle Clock.
The dark colours create a tasteful contrast to the playful organic shapes of these objects.
On view in Paris were also the series Home Complements with new design objects based on research findings and inspirations from the archive of Alexander Girard.
“The collection consists of classic and contemporary objects and accessories that make everyday life more beautiful and enriching. Vitra Home Complements are designed to accompany their owners over a lifetime. And as life needs colours, the collection is full of inspiring, playful prints by Girard, coloured objects from the Eames world and contemporary pieces with exciting shapes and ideas”, explains Mirkku Kullberg, Head of Vitra Home.
