   Label The Eames Lounge Chair An Icon of Modern Design

The Eames Lounge Chair: An Icon of Modern Design

   The culmination of Charles and Ray Eames's experimentation in molded
   plywood, the 1955 Eames Lounge Chair represents the epitome of both
   modernist style and luxurious comfort.
   The exhibition examines this icon of modern design through a dynamic
   installation including prototype models, drawings, advertisements, and
   an "exploded" version of the chair that breaks down its components.
   Through these materials, the Eames Lounge Chair will be fully explored
   in terms of its technical design, production, and promotion.
   Examples of other Eames designs will provide a context for the
   profound impact of this classic chair on subsequent furniture and its
   lasting legacy fifty years later.
   In an advertisement from 1961, Herman Miller Furniture Company, the
   manufacturer of the Eames Lounge Chair, posed the question, "Why so
   much fuss over a chair?"
   This is precisely the question that The Eames Lounge Chair: An Icon of
   Modern Design will answer by examining how this construction in
   molded-plywood, leather, and metal has come to take on iconic status
   in the world of modern design.
