About La Chaise Pin - Charles & Ray Eames - Acme Studios

This La Chaise pin is from world famous designers and architects Charles & Ray Eames. The design is based on their unique La Chaise lounge chair design. ACME's pins are made from brass with handmade cloisonné enamel with a butterfly backing.

Charles and Ray designed this lounge chair for The Museum of Modern Art’s 1948 “International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design.” Its name references both its function as well as Gaston Lachaise’s Floating Figure sculpture, whose shape the Eameses thought would fit the chair perfectly.

Comprised of two bonded fiberglass shells, a chromed base, and natural oak feet, the chair exhibits a captivating elegance and allows for a wide range of sitting and reclining positions.

The Eames La Chaise was never sold during Charles and Ray’s lifetime, as it proved too costly to produce; however, their Armchair design, which they entered into the same competition, won a prize and was produced in fiberglass to great success.

It wasn’t until 1996 that the long-time Eames partner, Vitra International, began manufacturing and distributing the La Chaise in response to public interest and demand. Today, the chair serves as a long-established icon of organic design. It is available exclusively from Vitra.

Eames

Charles and Ray Eames were 20th-century American designers best known for their groundbreaking contributions to architecture, furniture design, and industrial design. Not only they have had a prominent influence on manufacturing but on photography. They believed that design is a solution to a problem and remained true to their philosophies for their entire lives.

In the first place, their work reflected the nation’s defining social movements. This husband-and-wife team based their pieces on a combination of art and science. The Eameses design architecture, process, product, style, and function ushered in a new age of design.

Their world-renowned Eames lounge chair is now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It also stands in homes and offices throughout the world. They received many awards, including the Royal Gold Medal and the Twenty-Five Year Award from the American Institute of Architects.

Musart is proud to present their work and designs that still inspire us today.
