Art on Art:
an Eames Expression

By David Foster


Dared to create art on art, local Austin artists and designers turned the smooth, white surface of an Eames molded plastic chair into the medium for their expression. Some turned to Mondrian for inspiration and others to a hammer and nails. The Good Design Challenge was held in conjunction with a recent Herman Miller exhibit at the Austin Museum of Art.

This isn’t the first time an Eames chair has become a canvas.

Looks like the chair really brings out the retro ideas in many of these artists! Keri Moore’s design is my favorite. It matches the simplicity and boldness of the chair design.
