Description
This fusion of art and design is brought to life in Arad’s exceptional furniture design, particularly the iconic Tom Vac chair. Originally designed for a one-off sculpture for Milan Design Week in 1997, the “Totem” installation was comprised of 100 specially designed chairs, stacked on top of each other in a square in Milan. Arad admits the design and installation was no more than a perfect excuse to explore and satisfy his fascination with vacuum-formed aluminium, however Swiss furniture manufacturers, Vitra, saw the versatility and appeal of the design and put the chair into production. It has become one of Arad’s most successful commercial products to date.
The Tom Vac chair is elegant and versatile, a perfect example of function and aesthetics working harmoniously together. The corrugated plastic shell seat creates waves of form that are not purely for aesthetic purposes but give strength and flexibility to the shell, whilst providing support and comfort to the seated individual. The seat is upheld by legs made from tubular steel, and the hole in the base of the shell allows chairs to be stacked, making them popular for spaces that require large numbers of people.
We have 4 Tom Vac chairs available in Red.
