TANDEM SLING SEATING | THE DESIGNERS
Throughout the 1960's Charles and Ray Eames produced a range of sturdy, comfortable and elegant designs for office chairs and public seating areas at airports, stadiums and schools. The Aluminum chair concept formed the basis of the 1962 design for the Tandem Sling Seating range, an institutional multiple seating system designed for the Dulles and O'Hare Airports in America and these chairs are still to be seen in use in airports throughout the world today.
Charles Eames (1907-78) and Ray Eames (1912-88) embraced the thought of modern design - they believed that design can improve our lives. Their broad interests which varied from civil engineering and architecture to modern art culture and design allowed them to solve challenges with imagination, practicality and beauty.
More praise for the Designers:
• I had no idea. Is there a chair that has been sat in by more people in history than this one? Probably not. And it's yet another Eames chair.
• Travelers in many American airport terminals today might not think twice about the low-slung black seats they settle into before their flights. But the ubiquitous adjoining seats at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, among other locations, are one of designer Charles Eames' most famous works. Eames, who was born over 100 years ago, believed that furniture should be functional. He and his wife, Ray, worked as a team, and ultimately created some of the most recognizable furniture designs in the U.S.
