Tom Vac is a great chair and an instant classic, the only thing we could do to it was add an user…
TAILOR MY TOM VAC
To celebrate 15 years of Ron Arad’s Tom Vac chair, Vitra has invited over 20 architecture and design studios to reinterpret the iconic design.
The full collection of one-off chairs formed a public exhibition called “Tailor My Tom Vac”, at Vitra’s London space during Clerkenwell Design Week 2014.
“Tailor My Tom Vac” invites the participating designers to approach the brief as a pure concept, with no restrictions on medium or discipline, in line with Arad’s original response. Ron Arad says: “It’s very interesting to see other people taking the same idea and expressing their responses. Inspiration comes from strange places sometimes, so it’s good to know that Tom Vac is being used as a starting point as well as being an end product.”
