Have you ever seen this one  

.
This fine and early example of the Eames Compact Sofa is upholstered in original Alexander Girard fabric custom designed for Colorado State University in the 1950s.
Chromed and enameled steel, wool upholstered foam
72?w x 26?d x 29?h
I never remember my University ever having any thing this cool hard to believe it sold for $9500.00 at auction.
I went to visit my daughter at college and we went all over the campus viewing the various buildings very interesting that i saw nothing represented by Herman Miller or Knoll or any of the great designers that you use to see in your collage days, but at the time , unless you were in the Architect school had a glue who designed it, kinda sad looked like nothing but commercial grade all over the campus and that is not the first school that i saw that look at.

The fine University that I went to,
which WILL remain un-named (until I make some friends with the maintenance staff there), still has a quite of few of these in use. Not plaid like this, but all custom ordered in the school colors in something close to Millerstripe. I visit often, mostly to keep tabs on them, and it's funny to see all the kids crash on them between classes and see them put paper plates with stacks of greasy pizza on them.

Doesnt your daughter go to Harvard? They have some beautiful Eames pieces in the Graduate School of Design; some Wassily chairs (including an original production model) in the Busch-Reisinger museum; and MIT right down the street has a whole student center reading room in the Aalto building complete with Aalto furnishings.

almost looks like someone was fooling around in the carpentershop at Herman miller on that one
I have never seen any thing remotely like it .
It really is to tall for use with furniture and to narrow for use at a table , A piece of wood art perhaps ???

Graduate School of Design; so...

I admired that stuff for a long time it was great !!!!!
Alto did make his mark at MIT when he designed Baker House a student Dormitory located on the urban campus of MIT,on the shore of the Charles River. I like the part were he used Irregularly burned bricks that were used as a material for the facade. All of the original furnishing which have been changed by now were provided by Artek I am sure some one got a great deal on that stuff 20 years ago.

Stool & Compact sofa
Never saw that stool...are you sure it's a real one? Possibily a promotype and a promotion pieces specially made to show all 3 profiles?
That Sofa Compact is really beautiful. Almost makes me want to own one, but I'm gonna stick to getting the Eames Sofa instead.

you will like any sofa better than the compact that is not the most confortable of Eames sofas

Did someone
cut two different Eames Time-Life stools to make a taller one-off ? Could be. . .

Compact not being comfortable
Yea, LBF, I suspected that it, along with the Marshmellow sofa were among the more uncomfortable...but you gotta admit a compact with cool fabric really is swell to look at.
The damn Eames Sofa is over $7000.00 and does not fit into my budget however....
I did bid on and lost a 3-seater in a light tan leather on eBay....it went for 3744.00 and that's less than half of the going price.
Oh well...live and learn....and chew the ol carpet.

I meant LRF
It's so difficult to respond specifically with this forum, because you don't get the luxury of adding the original message to your reply, like other forums.
Sorry...I meant LRF...not LBF!
