Vitra - Resting Cat

Vitra Resting Cat.

A design by the Swedish Front for Vitra, the Resting Animals are characterized by the smiling feeling they generate.

The collection was the result of a research project where Front asked people to name some of their most emotionally enriching and meaningful objects - most of the answers were animal figures. In their earlier works Front observed the sleep and hibernation of animals. The Resting Animals combine these two themes into visually appealing objects that surround themselves with experiences of joy, tranquility and companionship.
