Charles met Ray at Cranbrook and when they married they moved to Los Angeles to focus on the mass- manufacture of low-cost molded plywood furniture; getting what Charles called “ the most of the best to the most for the least”. Ray s stunning graphics and textiles of the early and mid-1940s indicate a strong independent design talent but she chose (as did many women of her generation) to work jointly on a project that she did not originate. By 1951, they had seen through to commercially viable mass production low-cost furniture in plastic and metal as well as plywood; the first people to so do.

Charles and Ray Eames

Design is for living. That maxim shaped a widespread shift in design during the 1940s and 1950s. It was a revolution of form, an exciting visual language that signaled a new age and a fresh start – and two of its prime movers were Charles and Ray Eames. The Eameses were a husband and wife team whose unique synergy led to a whole new look in furniture.

Lean and modern. Sleek, sophisticated and simple. Beautifully functional. Yet Charles and Ray Eames created more than a “look” with their bent plywood chairs or molded fiberglass seating. They had ideas about making a better world, one in which things were designed to fulfill the practical needs of ordinary people and bring greater simplicity and pleasure to our lives.

The Glade now also carries this new tee by Answer. The tee has the famous Eames Chair on the front and is made like a hand drawing. I really like the design.

Charles Eames: Time Life Chair Yumminess

So I am finally posting on my newest and most cherished Mid-Century Modern artifact…and collector deal of a lifetime– my Herman Miller Aluminum Group Executive Management Work Chair, or Time Life Chair. Perfectly orange (for my friend Jess) and super soft, super plush high quality leather…the Bentley of the chair world. And the most luxurious chair I have ever sat in. So here it is, along with a few odd ball office shots for context. Let me know if you want one. I have 6 more (albeit not in as pristine condition).

I bought them to sell, so let me know if you too would like one. Following is some additional info for anyone intreged and interested in learning more. A NY Times article called Seats of Power. A distant cousin. A recent eBay listing. Another. And another. A recent sale. Architonic coverage. A current listing at $3,300.00. Yet another. Herman Miller s page. Learn more about the chairs history, and download the original Charles Eames designed leaflet from 1960 announcing the chair in PDF form here. See what midcenturymodernist has to say about this.

Plycraft Lounge Chair Restoration (Eames Lounger)

Thursday, May 31, 2012

Well everyone I had no idea these were going to be as big of a hit as they turned out to be. I am happy to say my chairs continue to provide at least me with a sense of accomplishment. My wife not so much…kids…not so much. I just finished my boat after 2-3 years and a major back surgery inbetween. Now that I am all healed up I will think up some new restoration projects. I am also thinking about building a dinning table. I am considering doing an Eames inpired walnut or redwood thick slab burl table. To go with it I would chase down molded plastic Eames chairs. There are some ways to liven up the plastic on those.
