Midway Gardens was a sophisticated adult playground built in Chicago's South Side in 1914. The unusual design was a carefully arranged marriage of modern architectural design and old-world tradition. It was a distinctly American translation of the German concert garden with richly decorated brick-and-concrete enlivened by colors, shapes music and people in movement. The complex included an indoor restaurant, large dance-floor and concert stage; multi-tiered outdoor summer garden and band shell; tavern, and private club.
These light, colorful and lively chairs where part of this production.
The Midway Gardens sadly was demolished just 15 years later.
As you expect, this authentic Vitra Miniature always comes in the Vitra Design Museum's wooden shipping crate with informative booklet.
This model has been retired by Vitra, and are all sold out. |
