- Title
A 21st century interpretation of a 20th century fashion.
- Abstract
This article discusses a set of garden furniture designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in cooperation with the furniture manufacturer Vitra AG. These chairs, called Vegetal, are designed in a fashion inspired by methods of pruning trees so as to mimic furniture that was fashionable in the early 20th century. The use of gas injection technology developed for Miramid plastics made by BASF AG subsidiary BASF Leuna GmbH in the manufacture of these chairs is noted.
