Lloyd Alter continues his great Herman Miller coverage over on Treehugger. Check out his post and slideshow on the making of our Eames Lounge Chair. Lloyd went behind the scenes at the factory where the iconic chair is made.
Ray and Charles Eames appeared on NBC in 1956 to launch the lounge chair and ottoman (watch Part 2 to see the chair being built). They are interviewed by Arlene Francis and I’m not sure what is more fascinating – hearing Charles speak about the designs, watching the dynamic between Ray, Charles and Arlene or listening to their fabulous accents. It’s compelling television.
