Designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller.

Charles and Ray Eames believed that “design is a method of action,” and they continually updated their work as new materials became available. Their Molded Plastic chairs were originally designed in metal and entered as a prototype in MoMA’s 1948 International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design. They then changed the material to fiberglass in 1950, and today the chairs are made of recyclable polypropylene. Charles was dissatisfied with the fiberglass, and it wasn’t until after his death that the matte finish he desired was achieved, thanks to advances in materials. “The chair that Charles and Ray were designing,” explains grandson Eames Demetrios, “is the chair that’s made tomorrow.” The deep seat pocket and waterfall seat edge keep you comfortable by reducing pressure on the backs of thighs. This is an authentic chair by Herman Miller®, Inc. Eames is a licensed trademark of Herman Miller. Made in U.S.A.

      Mid-Century Architecture

      Mid-Century Architecture

      Phoenix Art Museum, both as an institution and a structure, has evolved through distinct expansions over more than half a century. Initially designed in the 1950s by Frank Lloyd Wright apprentices Alden B. Dow and Blaine Drake, the museum was completed in 1959 as part of the Phoenix Civic Center complex. This complex also included the Phoenix Little Theater and the Phoenix Central Public Library.

      Situated at the northeast corner of Central Avenue—Phoenix’s primary north-south thoroughfare—and McDowell Road, the Civic Center originally featured three low, horizontally oriented, stucco-clad modern buildings, each dedicated to one of the institutions. These buildings were interconnected by ramadas and surrounded by landscaped courtyards. The main structures formed a large central courtyard, with the library positioned on the southern side along McDowell Road, the art museum to the northwest along Central Avenue, and the theater to the northeast at the rear of the site.
