Eames’ Chairs… Live

I had the pleasure of sitting in an authentic Eames Chair the other night! A friend of mine obtained them years ago from an antique dealer. Apparently they used to belong to a German Doctor. He must have appreciated the importance of his patients comfort!

I have been offered permission to use the Chairs the Illustrated Lecture event at the Science Gallery on February 17th! So, the development of a ‘set design’ for the evening is afoot – has anyone got any mid 20th century furniture, fabrics or even plants to donate for one night only? A small ‘drinks’ table for water glasses would be great, rugs, plants, and lamps?

Take inspiration from the Eames House.
