The Eames Chair

When staffers come to my office they are invited to sit on one of my red Eames chairs. These are some of my favorite things. Charles and Ray Eames, a married couple, were designers famous for their molded plymood chairs. From a blog dedicated to their work:

During World War II, the Eameses and a group of inventive collaborators designed leg splints, aircraft parts, and stretchers made of molded plywood for the federal government and the local aviation industry. Shortly afterward, the Eameses used the expertise to create their first commercially produced, molded-plywood furniture.

The chair is so low it feels like you're at the kid's table
