Beschreibung
Dieter Rams (Wiesbaden, Germany, 1932)
Pair of chairs, 620 Chair Program for Vitsoe and auxiliary table 621 for Vitsoe + Zapf / Vitsoe. Designed and created in 1962.
The cushions are rather worn.
These are two of the most iconic creations from the collaborations between Dieter Rams and the Vitsoe firm, which began in 1959.
Rams was design director of Braun from 1961 until the mid 90s. According to their website, "Dieter Rams is one of the figures crucial to the understanding of industrial design over the last hundred years. His ten “Good design” principles – among which the maxim "less, but better" stands out – and the work he developed over decades for the electronics company Braun and the furniture makers Vitsoe+Zapf made him key to understanding the sector in the 20th century. The Chief Design Officer of Apple, Jonathan Ive, and the renowned British designer Jasper Morrison have publicly recognised their admiration for Rams’ legacy."
Similarly, as explained in the design, architecture and contemporary creation magazine roomdiseno.com, "Dieter Rams established that products have to be like tools, not decorative objects or works of art. [.. .] In his 620 Chair Series for the Vitsoe firm, the modular facet [is repeated] in a system of individual easy chairs, which can also compose, together, a sofa of various seats. Its birch wood base and its frame, covered with a rubber fibre moulding and a synthetic veneer in black or white, gives it an elegant and timeless look. An example of the fact that the aesthetic is not only something that surprises but also endures.”
The 620 chair has been awarded various prizes, such as the Rosenthal Studio award in 1966 and the Golden Medal in the International Furniture Exhibition in Vienna in 1969.
This model has formed part of the permanent collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London since 1970, a fact which shows the extent of its importance in the history of design.

"Héritage" is the legacy of the lives of two art lovers who dedicated themselves to collecting. They had the knack of gathering together pieces with the most exquisite eclecticism, combining medieval art with colonial art, 17th century silver and furniture, oriental art and iconic design pieces of the 60s and 70s.
It is an honour for us to remember them and present you their collection today.
