Description
Produced by Vitra, Resting Animals is the result of a research project by Front focusing on the close link between humans and figurative objects. The design duo asked randomly selected people which objects they felt were the most precious and emotionally significant in their lives. The majority of respondents chose animal figures because they felt they could identify with their personality, characteristics or history. This preference has been transposed into a group of representations of Resting Animals, whose postures exude calm and tranquillity. The ceramic birds are available in two sizes and several colours. Beyond their decorative role, Vitra's Resting Birds convey, through their peaceful presence, a sense of deep satisfaction and camaraderie.
Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is based near Basel, Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the design brand Vitra grew and opened many subsidiaries worldwide. The founders had spotted Eames Lounge Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames during a trip to New York, USA. They were immediately captivated and therefore requested a license to produce these pieces of furniture in Europe. In 1956, Vitra acquired this license, which became one of the keys to the brand's success.
