La Chaise —  Charles and Ray Eames (1948) As I was trawling through NOTCOT the other day, I came across something fascinating. I found out that the Eames “La Chaise” was designed in 1948 for a competition by the Museum of Modern Art (NY). It was inspired by a sculpture called “Floating Figure” by Gaston Lachaise. Brilliant!
