Designer and engineer Jean Prouvé developed the EM Table in the 1950s for his "Maison Tropicale" project. Following the principles of the "aesthetics of necessity," even the smallest details of this table are determined by its structure. The angled legs are connected by a crossbar that makes the structural forces and stress flow evident, something usually only seen in engineering works.

The Aluminium Chair is one of the great furniture designs of the 20th century. Charles and Ray Eames originally designed it in 1958 for the private residence of an art collector in Columbus, Indiana (USA). For its construction, the design duo departed from the traditional shell-style seat, opting instead to stretch a fabric or leather panel between two aluminum frames to create a firm yet flexible seat. The Aluminium Chair, with its fine padding, conforms to the user's body and is exceptionally comfortable. The Aluminium Group includes several distinct models for use in homes, offices, and public spaces. Thanks to the wide variety of models, aluminum bases with polished, chromed, or powder-coated black finishes, and the extensive selection of fabric or leather upholstery colors, the perfect Aluminium Chair can be found for any setting. Vitra has produced Aluminium Group chairs with the same superior quality for decades. This experience allows us to offer a 30-year warranty* on all Aluminium Group chair models.

En 1947, el diseñador americano George Nelson recibió el encargo de crear una colección de relojes. Después de estudiar la forma en que la gente utilizaba los relojes, Nelson llegó a la conclusión de que la hora se podía leer según la posición relativa de las agujas, lo que permitía prescindir de los números. Además, como la mayoría utilizaba relojes de pulsera, supuso que los relojes de pared habían pasado a ser elementos decorativos de los interiores. These ideas formed the basis of their first collection of 14 pieces, which included wall clocks and small table clocks with a completely new style and were introduced to the market in 1949. Although all models shared a common characteristic – the absence of numbers – the diversity of shapes, colors, materials and designs could not have been greater.

In 1947, American designer George Nelson was commissioned to create a collection of clocks. After studying how people used clocks, Nelson concluded that time could be read by the relative position of the hands, making numbers unnecessary. Furthermore, since most people used wristwatches, he surmised that wall clocks had become purely decorative elements in interiors. These ideas formed the basis of their first collection of 14 pieces, which included wall clocks and small table clocks with a completely new style and were introduced to the market in 1949. Although all models shared a common characteristic – the absence of numbers – the diversity of shapes, colors, materials and designs could not have been greater.
