Follow Me 1
vitra > Cabinet
Follow Me 1 is a robust mobile pedestal for both offices and home workspaces. A decorative pull strap makes it easy to move the trolley from place to place. The interior compartment (the height of one ring binder) can be concealed by pulling down the mobile pedestal's tambour shutter. Optional drawers and shelves can be individually configured. The taller Follow Me 2 version makes an ideal companion for standing-height tables.
Freeform Sofa, Freeform Ottoman
vitra > Sofa
The sculptural quality of Noguchi's design vocabulary finds expression in the Freeform Sofa: it is entirely different from other designs of the same period, appearing in combination with the Ottoman like an enlarged sculpture of flat, rounded river stones. The slender organic forms are fluid and graceful. Noguchi emphasises the lightness of the elements with thin yet comfortable upholstery and a choice of cover fabrics in natural colours.<br/><br/>The Freeform Sofa and companion Ottoman were produced around 1950 in limited numbers. Today, the few remaining pieces achieve record prices at auction. Since 2002, the group has been produced by the Vitra Design Museum as a fully authentic re-edition. The sofa is suitable not only for use in living spaces, but also in lobbies, hotels and retail shops.

Miniatures Gala
vitra > Styling
Franco Albini was one of the leading protagonists of Italian Neorationalism. His work offers profound insights into an important movement in Italian architecture and design during the 1950s.<br/><br/>The scarcity of materials during the early postwar years inspired industrial designers to combine traditional crafts and organic, natural forms with innovative designs. Albini made an outstanding contribution to architecture and design by using readily available, inexpensive raw materials, with which he created distinctly modern chairs, like the Gala armchair. This chair represents a unique synthesis of minimalism, elegance and formal mastery.
