Ive always seen photos of these painted chairs.
Does anyone know who the artist was that painted them?
Also, what type of paint was used and do the chairs still exist?

Cool history Mark
Thanks for the links.
I have always loved the early images of the Eames house & studio when it was still quite open and empty and they used the womb chair by their pal Eero.
The photos of old NY and the Hindenburg disaster are fascinating.
