Eames Hack

Created by ID students from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia

A description from the website :

 

"These two pieces, the Eames toilet chair and the Eames child seat, are about breaking the status surrounding high design objects. Through physically invasive alterations, these once iconic, elite, forms are liberated from their old, restrained image. The project is not a critique of the Eames, but rather a fulfillment of their original ideals."

 

A disgrace to the good name, or a respectful honor for the chairs? What are your thoughts?
