The iconic "Eames La Chaise" chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1948. The organic shape recalls the "Floating Figure," a sculpture by Gaston Lachaise. The voluptuous organic form of the Eames La Chaise was an evolution of plywood chairs developed a year earlier in collaboration with architect Eero Saarinen for the "Organic Design in Home Furnishings" competition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. A startling innovation in chair design, its expressive outline was made possible by technological advances in molding fiberglass to create free-form shells for flexible seating. Available at DWR for $7,330, model not included.Tuesday, January 09, 2007
