OFFI – Skool Chair. The Skool chair was inspired by a familiar fun, playful, & friendly aesthetic that references stacking wooden school chairs. This relevant homage combined with Karim’s contemporary & sensual minimalistic sensibility gives the chair a cool, progressive character that lets it stand alone, or sit comfortably at a table for four. Please note, while this chair can stack, (max 3 per stack), it is not designed or promoted as a “stacking” chair.
Who: Designed by Karim Rashid and Manufactured by OFFI.
Where: This item ships to anywhere in the continental US. Shipping is FREE!
Material: Multi-planar molded ply with Birch or Walnut veneer. Chrome plated frame.
Specs: 5d x 17w x 31h, seat at 16 (inches)

On June 17, 2008, in Santa Monica, California, the Postal Service™ issued 42–cent commemorative stamps Charles and Ray Eames in a commemorative sheet featuring 16 different designs.
Honoring the husband-and-wife design team of Charles and Ray Eames, this commemorative sheet of 16 stamps was designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, and represents the breadth of their extraordinary body of creative work, which includes architecture, furniture, film and exhibits.
