卖家的描述
- Title: La Chaise MoMA Entry Panel Posters
- Material: Art prints (specific paper type not mentioned) in a cardboard tube.
- Manufacturer: Eames Office
- Year of Design: 1948
- Year of Production: 2023 (as it's a 75th-anniversary celebration of a 1948 design).
- Description: This is a set of two art prints in a cardboard tube. The prints are a facsimile of the Eames original entry panels for La Chaise from The Museum of Modern Art’s 1948 “International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design.”
- Context: In 1948, the Museum of Modern Art in NYC sponsored the “International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design.” The competition was motivated by the urgent need in the postwar period for low-cost housing and furnishing designs adaptable to small housing units.
Designers were invited to team up with “technologists” to form “design research teams”; six teams were each given grants of five thousand dollars. The Eames Office, together with engineers from UCLA, submitted a set of designs for low-cost seating.
Graphic panels with mechanical drawings, specifications, photographs, and text detailed the proposed series of low-cost solutions. A full-scale model of a chaise lounge, nicknamed “La Chaise” (after it was made, it occurred to the Eameses that a Gaston Lachaise floating figure sculpture could just about fit in it), was made with a stressed-skin shell and a hard rubber and foam core. Both upper and lower skins were made of resin and fiberglass cloth, and the core was composed of variously sized blocks of hard rubber and styrene foam.
The prints were produced by the Eames Office to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the La Chaise chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames for a competition organized by The Museum of Modern Art.
- Dimensions: approximately 50.8 cm x 67 cm
The lot has already been shipped from Los Angeles to storage in Amsterdam. Therefore, customs clearance and shipping timelines will follow our standard process, with no additional delays expected
