Charles and Ray Eames received a commission to design the interiors of three lobbies in the new Time & Life Building at the Rockefeller Center in New York City. In addition to outfit these spaces, this major project encompassed the development of the comfortable upholstered Lobby Chairs and this group of stools made out of solid walnut. The lathe turned stools, which were also conceived by Ray to be used as small occasional tables, have distinctive individual profiles. The sculptural and the decorative character of the stools make a most striking impression when they are grouped together.
These pieces were inspired by an African stool that stood in the living room of the Eames House, as shown in the photographic series by Monique Jacot from the year 1959.
These stools, models A, B and C are sold individually and each come in the Vitra wooden packing crate. See also our Herman Miller made version |
