Price may not be the best criteria for design that endures but as many may know the original child’s version of this chair in good condition is extremely valuable and hard to find today.

The winning chair looks very nice, too. Perhaps Herman Miller should look into producing it.

I doubt either could be considered “low cost” by today’s standards.

Do you think the Eameses would come up with something at Ikea now?

Just goes to show that the great designers are always looking for ways to improve their products. That dedication certainly has paid off. As you point out, the first place design is no a distant memory but Eames chairs are still sold every year.

I have one that I found in Ottawa, Canada. I’m love this chair.

You’re right, it is Donald Knorr. Thanks for catching this and letting us know.
