amazing find!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to fill my house with Eames furniture! I dig those Eameses :) Thanks so much for sharing that gem!
ReplyDeleteArleen Francis was a fabulous interviewer, and the end of the clip showing the building of Eames' chair was so ahead of its time! Thanks for posting this Victoria, I would have never of seen it otherwise! :D
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it Mrs. French!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Harriet, I dig those Eameses! And I would love to fill my house with Eames furniture, (and fabrics!) too!
Sandra, I agree, Arleen Francis was great! I always enjoyed watching her on "What's My Line?" As I watched this clip I kept trying to think of who today interviews in such an elegant, yet easy going, intelligent, yet understandable way, and I really couldn't think of anyone.
And that clip of the chair constructions, was truly ahead of its time! Fab, fab, fab!
Cool - must check this out!
ReplyDeleteI love that these chairs caused a flutter. They are such a part of our culture today, it's hard to imagine life without their influence.
ReplyDeleteI know, isn't it amazing how radical in design and construction they were at the time? We sort of take it all for granted now, since we grew up with it all, but Charles and Ray Eames were true visionaries!
