Vintage Ads: Eames and Girard
Vintage Ad Browser is the work of Philipp Lenssen – a German living in China. He has obsessively collected over 100,000 ads, mostly from America, that cover everything from furniture to typewriters.
The nice thing about this site is you can search by name or type (or even color). The not so great thing is the lack of info on each ad. The image above is tagged ”Alcoa Aluminum Unit Girard Design Charles Eames (1957)”. It reminds me of the Eames living room and also the Miller House in Columbus, Indiana. And it’s just one of an amazing array of vintage images to inspire you.
