Designers: Ray and Charles Eames, 1960
DESIGN STORY
Ray Eames drew on her training as a sculptor to design a new kind of
occasional piece for the lobby of the Time-Life Building in New York City.
Eames walnut stools became her favorite seats and were liberally scattered
about the Charles and Ray Eames home in Pacific Palisades.
A museum curator once ordered two of these stools for his son and daughter.
"Graduation gifts?" he was asked. "No," he said, "the kids are only five and
three. But I want them to have the experience of growing up with
something truly good that they can keep all their lives."
PRODUCT INFO
Made of solid walnut, these 15-inch-high stools can be used anywhere and
are beautifully versatile. Besides being places to sit, they also serve as low
tables, display surfaces, or simply objects to be admired. The center
section of the stool comes in three distinctively sculpted profiles. The top
surface and the smaller bottom surface are both concave.
DIMENSIONS:
15"h x 13" top dia. x 11" bottom dia.
