Description
Released by Vitra, Resting Animals is the result of a research project by Front that focuses on the close link between humans and figurative objects. The design duo asked randomly selected people which objects they felt were the most valuable and emotionally significant in their lives. The majority of the responses turned out to be animal figures who were perceived to have a common personality, characteristics or history. This interest has now been made into a group of representations of sleeping animals — Resting Animals — whose postures exude calmness and placidity. Among these, the ceramic cat finds its place everywhere in the house. Beyond its decorative role, Vitra's Resting Cat transmits, through its peaceful presence, a feeling 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.
