CELEBRATING THE ICONICS SERIES | PART III | SUSTAINABLE INTERIOR DESIGN

In this series, CELEBRATING THE ICONICS we are applauding some of the most ingenious, timeless, iconic furniture designs and designers of the last century.

 This week we continue with Part III  and are Celebrating ...

 Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman  c. 1956

One of the most iconic designs of the 20th century

Constructed of soft leather and molded wood, this set was the end result of the Eameses' efforts to create a club chair using the molded plywood technology that they pioneered in the ’40s. Entirely hand-assembled out of parts that are fully replaceable by Herman Miller, the timeless Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is constructed to last lifetimes.  (DWR)

Named by Time magazine as the Best Design of the 20th Century, the Eames Upholstered Molded Plywood Chair form relates directly to the human body and holds you in a comfortable position.

Eames Molded Plastic Chair c. 1950

Originally made of metal, the material was changed to fiberglass and today constructed of recyclable polypropylene. The deep seat pocket and waterfall seat edge keep you comfortable by reducing pressure on your back.

Their furniture is highly recognizable. Charles and Ray Eames created some of the most beautiful, timeless and iconic designs in the world which are still stylish and functional today - so many years later.

Not only did Charles and Ray design furniture they also created a case study house, films, designed showrooms, invented toys and generally made the world a more interesting place to be.
