Hello,
Do you know the feeling that you can't sleep untill you find this one song which is on your mind but you don't remember the name.
I got the same thing with a chair. On ebay i saw this book about Ray and Charles Eames by Naomi Stungo (see picture). I'm searching all night but without result.
Is this a design of Charles Eames or not? If not, why put i on a book about his design? If it isn't Eames, who in the world is it?
Questions, questions questions..
Does anyone happen to know this chair (or own the book) who can give me any clues, tips, directions or just something so i can get some sleep! 😛
Thanks!!
Rik

"Pre-digested intoduction to Eames with a Bogus Cover"
I was able to find this book on Amazon
This was the review that Aragorn the Traveler wrote on December 22, 2000
"To begin with, I read a lot of books about Charles & Ray Eames and have a great love of mid century modern. This is aimed rather lower. My first complaint is the cover. Whose chair is this? It's certainly not one designed by Eames. The rest of the book is a rehash history in 21 pages of everything you probably know unless this is your first Eames book. The remaining 50 or 60 pages are photos you've seen everywhere, but without the contextual explanation that makes it all fall into place. One example of this lack of contextual explanation is a picture of a platform over someone laying on the grass. There is no mention that this photo set up was for a shot from "The Power of 10". This would be appropriate reading for someone very young as a quick introduction, but if you already know much about Charles and Ray Eames you should make another pick."
