Vitra - Stools walnut stool model B

Vitra Stools model B.

The Vitra stools A B C are a charming addition to many lounge chairs and next to the sofa.

The stools of solid turned walnut wood have a nice warm classic look because the solid walnut layers are glued in several layers, turned and then transparently varnished. The difference between the stools is in the central part due to the different profiles.

The dimensions are: 31D x 38H cm.

The designers:

In 1925 Charles Eames began to study architecture, which he interrupted after two years of boredom. Four years later he made a trip to Europe where he discovered with enthusiasm the innovative work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. Upon his return to the United States, he opened his own architectural practice and collaborated several times with the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen. It was with Eliel's son, Eero Saarinen, that he won his first design prize, awarded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York at the conclusion of an organic design competition.

In 1938, under the impulse of Eliel Saarinen, Charles Eames resumed his studies in architecture at the Academy of the Arts in Cranbrook, where he soon became a professor of industrial design. There he met Ray Kaiser, a painting student, who in 1941 would become his assistant and then his wife.
