My name is Dirk Dowald. I am a collector of chair miniatures (in German „Miniaturstuhl“) and I would like to use this blog to show you my collection.<\/p>\n

I started with a few miniatures only, which I bought between 1996 and 2002. I did not knew then that these miniatures would be the basis of my collection of chair miniatures, which is really large today. Later on – in 2005 – I started purchasing miniatures to enlarge my collection. In the first years, all I were interested in were miniatures offered by the Vitra Design Museum.<\/p>\n

Then the small Thonet collection and the Arne Jacobsen miniatures by 1:6 Design called my attention. I have managed to add also many little works of art by other manufacturers to my collection so far.<\/p>\n

\nLooking into my archive\u00a0cabinets (detail)<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, my archive cabinets contain one miniature close to the other – behind locked doors for reasons of conservation.<\/p>\n

In two cabinets with shelves offering 15 running metres of space, the miniatures by the Vitra Design Museum are stored partly in three and four rows. Another cabinet offering about 8 running metres of space houses the miniatures by other manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Of course, I also present my miniatures in a display cabinet. For this, I carefully chose models to arrange them in a context and after about four weeks I decorate new models. Please find below pictures of three decorations with the model names and manufacturers of the miniatures.<\/p>\n
