Description
An iconic example of mid-century American design, this authentic Eames Walnut Stool (Shape C) was originally designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1960 for the Time-Life Building in New York.
Crafted from solid lathe turned walnut, this sculptural piece reflects the Eames philosophy of functional art where structure, material, and form exist in perfect balance. The bold geometric center profile defines the Shape C model, offering a strong architectural presence.
