Description
Are they really stools? Places to sit? Are they tables? Plant stands? Accent pieces for homes, offices or lobbies? Yes. They’ve been called abstract chess pieces. Well, no. The centre section of the Eames Turned Stool is crafted in four distinctively shaped profiles. First introduced in walnut in 1960 as Eames Walnut Stool, its new name reflects the addition of white oak and ebonised ash and the process still used to manufacture the stool.
Designed for lobbies of the Time-Life Building in 1960, deep enough to form a comfortable seat and shallow enough to balance a cup of coffee – that’s how Ray Eames described the depressions on the ends of this sculptural stool that she and Charles designed. First introduced in walnut as Eames Walnut Stool, it’s now available in a new shapes and finishes. The new name reflects the process still used to manufacture the stool.
A museum curator once ordered two of these stools for his son and daughter. “Graduation gifts?” he was asked. “No,” he said, “the kids are only five and three. But I want them to have the experience of growing up with something truly good that they can keep all their lives.”
