Its Jeremiah's warehouse. Those things were on Craigslist Boston about a year ago. While the frames are similar, the proportions are all off. The frame under the cushions is beveled on the Eames, not stepped like it is here. I wonder if these were cobbled together using Eames pieces. Such an unusual piece to knock-off though.
However, the Eames sofa was completed after Charles' death. At that time Ray began working on Eames Design, and surely this would be noted in there. Also by that time the Office had dedicated a space to storing prototypes, which were then distributed to museums upon the Office closing.
