Conceived for an exhibition of his work at the Roslyn Oxley Gallery in Sydney, the original lounge drew immediate attention and was subsequently acquired by the Gallery of South Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNewson's concept was only \"remotely, very remotely\" based on the chaise longue in Jacques-Louis David's 1800 portrait of Madame Récamier. His starting point was a flowing form in aluminium. The body was shaped from a single piece of foam, in exactly the same way a surfboard is made. The only way to attach the aluminium sheet was to hammer small metal pieces flat with a mallet and fix them with blind rivets. The result evoked the look of aircraft cladding, which inspired the name Lockheed Lounge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis miniature captures the sculptural curves and the distinctive riveted metal surface of the full-size icon. It is crafted from \u003cb\u003eglass-fibre reinforced plastic, rubber and aluminium sheet\u003c\/b\u003e, bringing a touch of 1980s design history into a compact format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Vitra Miniatures Collection, which reproduces landmark furniture designs with remarkable attention to detail, the Lockheed Lounge makes a striking display piece for collectors, design enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates sculptural form. Place it on a shelf, sideboard or desk and enjoy a small-scale tribute to a modern classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScale: \u003cb\u003e1:6\u003c\/b\u003e.
