Pinspiration Board: Eames Bucket Chair

Certain things become apparent (about one's tastes, idiosyncrasies, not-so-secret obsessions) after spending a fair amount of time on pinterest. I have to be honest and admit that for the first few months after I signed up last spring I didn't really take to it, but it's grown on me, and now I've come to use it as an inspiration board for future rooms/houses/wardrobe changes/food prep. Where before I would have filled a notebook or drawer full of magazine tearaways, now everything is neatly organized under tidy paper-free headings for all the world to see what pinterests me. 

At the moment, apparently Eames bucket chairs and rockers. I think I was more attracted to the styling in these images, but their reoccurrence also doesn't seem accidental. I love how seamlessly the chairs go from ultra modern to rustic farm table. What I would do for a set with the wooden legs...

Eames: The Architect and the Painter

A new documentary comes out this week on Ray and Charles Eames, the dynamic couple who heralded a new modernism in America, and who are perhaps best known for their famous Eames chairs. I'm intrigued, especially as the narrator (provided by James Franco) refers to the Eames' Office in Venice Beach as the Google of its day.
