Faust, Vincent2006
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
This artistically suspended piece explores the complex way plywood, leather, and aluminum came together to form Charles and Ray Eames' innovative -- yet classic -- lounge chair and ottoman. The molded rosewood shell and plush upholstery achieve Charles' stated ambition to create the inviting look of a well-used baseball mitt.
