From the backburner: Eames hack by Tom Reynolds, Tim Peet, Jared Delorenzo, Alie Thomer, Alexandra Powell, and Andrew McCandlish.
I looove this photo.
It was on exhibition at TechnoCRAFT: Hackers, Modders, Fabbers, Tweakers, and Design in the Age of Individuality from July 10, 2010 – October 3, 2010.
Where: Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA), San Francisco, CA, USA

Vitra has posted an interesting compilation of photos on the company’s Facebook page: the album showcases the brand’s chairs used in some of the world’s airports. Here below are a few teasers, visit the original post for the rest.

I admit, I planned to devote only 3 posts to this special Eames Auction at Wright, but then it would have been 3 times 4 photos and now it is 4 times 3 photos, which esthetically I like better.
Note I stayed away from the Eames’s plastic designs which I simply do not like.

Cow Hide is soo beginning 60ies and totally back now after 50 years. I love it, but beware the impracticality of the cow hairs that get loose….
