Herman Miller- Eames Walnut Stools

  Design Charles & Ray Eames, 1960.
Solid walnut. Made by Herman Miller®.

 

Perfectly self-contained objects of beauty, these solid walnut stools can act as a low table or a simple seat; hold a stack of books or coffee cups; live in modern or traditional surroundings. Charles and Ray Eames first designed the stools in 1960 for the lobby of the Time Life Building in New York City, but they soon became popular products and with time, one of the more charming classics of modern design. Today, these finely crafted lathe-turned pieces bring an animated personality to the office, home or commercial space.

 

center section of the stool comes in three distinctively sculpted profiles. The top surface and the smaller bottom surface are both concave.

 


Ray Eames drew on her training as a sculptor to design a new kind of occasional piece for the lobby of the Time-Life Building in New York City. Eames walnut stools became her favorite seats and were liberally scattered about the Charles and Ray Eames home in Pacific Palisades. Made of solid walnut, these stools can be used anywhere and are beautifully versatile. Besides being places to sit, they also serve as low tables, display surfaces, or simply objects of art to be admired.

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."
