good design is timeless

this chair was designed in 1958 and still remains one of the most popular chairs in the world

    Don't get me wrong, I do like how the DSi looks, but the ones with themes are 10x cooler, and it goes to show that the design CAN be exciting

    These chairs go for $2500 a pop (for a reproduction). You’re not gonna see one of these in any lobby.

    An authentic one from the 50s (when you can find one) sells at auction for $5-8k+

    The image isn’t loading for me—could you please describe the chair to me? I’m curious!

    Eames Aluminum Group

    But what I’m referring to is specifically known as the Eames Executive Group Management Chair

    I had one once. It was my most prized possession. 😢

    It’s not just a chair. It’s a piece of art.

    it was also (easily) the most expensive thing I had ever owned, and I grabbed it off the curb. often I would just stare at it, because it was beautiful.

    I miss it...
