Eames Re-Imagined
Barneys New York Windows Uptown: May 11 to May 31
Public Works Department, The Eames Foundation, and furniture retailer Herman Miller have donated 20 Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chairs (named the best design of the 20th century by Time Magazine). The chairs will be exhibited in a window display at Barneys while being auctioned online to benefit Operation Design, a non-profit organization that works with artists and design professionals to provide mentorships and creative programs to kids in New York City public schools leading to the improvement and renovation of their classrooms.
An Eames molded plywood chair, sitting beside our house. I found this abused design classic, along with an identical but much more damaged model, in a dumpster near our house in Fort Collins during an end of semester apartment cleanup.
The former owners had drilled holes all the way through the upper and lower plywood shells to re-attach them to the base, effectively destroying any resale value these vintage pieces would have had. By doing so, they damaged the lower shell of the second chair enough so that it broke in two. I ended up giving away the steel base to a friend when we moved to Utah.
This chair is still standing, regardless of its crappy, scuffed finish and its prior mistreatment. It's cool to be able to enjoy such a unique piece of design history (Google the duo of Ray and Charles Eames and you'll understand) in our house, and the old chair was a patient and cooperative subject for last night's shoot.
The Eames House (also known as Case Study House No. 8) is a landmark of mid-20th century modern architecture located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. It was constructed in 1949 by husband-and-wife design pioneers Charles and Ray Eames, to serve as their home and studio.
The Eameses created this prototype for a Solar Do-Nothing Machine for Alcoa Forecast Collection in the late 1950's. It's a tabletopful of beautifully milled aluminum [naturally] pinwheels and cogs, all webbed together with tiny belts.
It's a lot of fun to watch and decipher, and though it's hard to capture in an image, it filmed really well. This is a still from a 2-min film on Vol. 6 of The Films of Ray and Charles Eames.

Alrighty then. My favorite people always swing for the fences, and play nary a game. Those are the ones I am most magnetically attracted to--that motley crew that know the real deal when they see it. This one has always been A-list from the jump. Mathsson is the alpha dog of Swedish modernism. Party.
