Charles and Ray Eames Child's chair, 1945 manufactured by Evans Products two piece construction of molded birch plywood with original red aniline dye and heart cut-out to back, 13"w x 10"d x 13"h, excellent condition 7000-9000 |
The child's chair from 1945 is the first Eames furniture design to be put into production. The chair encapsulates many of the motifs that would come to characterize their work, from the use of molded plywood, to the economy of form for mass production. The chair is simple but avoids plainness by the heart cut-out. The shape immediately suggests its function: the soft rounded edges are ideal handholds for young fingers. It is the perfect combination of function and delight. The chair originally sold for $2.10. |
