Description

Vitra Plywood Mobile A, Eames Special Collection.

The Plywood Mobiles were designed by Charles and Ray Eames in the early 1940s.

The Eames designers couple experiments led to these organic shapes that playfully revolved around each other and which the Eameses hung from their ceiling like mobiles in their home.

Unusual and striking is the material used here - Aircraft plywood. This material is particularly robust and lightweight. It therefore provides mobile stability and at the same time the necessary lightness

Vitra has now launched a limited edition of the Plywood Mobile especially for the Eames Special Collection, in which the plywood parts are finished in beautiful colors, inspired by the collages of Ray Eames. With this version you get a collector's item!

The Plywood Mobiles are also reminiscent of the artwork and images of the Ray Eames house.

Material: Lacquered plywood
Color: bi-colour
Dimensions: Width 32 cm Height 40 cm.

About the designers:

Ray and Charles Eames were an American designer couple whose name is known to anyone with an interest in modern design. Charles Eames was born in 1907 in St. Louis, Missouri. He studied architecture at the University of Washington and, at the invitation of the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, continued his studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts, Michigan in 1940. There he met Eero Saarinen, with whom he entered a competition called " Organic Design in Home Decor" organized by MoMA in New York. Eames and Saarinen won the competition using a plywood molding technique originally developed by Alvar Aalto. In Cranbrook, Charles Eames also met her future wife Ray, and the couple married in 1941.
