We couldn’t resist sharing this image of Eames DCM-L and LCM chairs in Mies Van Der Rohe’s Crown Hall on the campus of Illinois Institute of Technology. The image is from a Herman Miller chair catalog, and while the Miller House has no Eames molded plywood chairs, it does have other Eames chairs

British Modern-
Designed in 1956, this home in the British countryside looks as modern today as it would have over half a century ago. The teak panelling, tiled floors and exposed brick work are timeless and the floor to ceiling windows flood all the rooms with light. The Niels Moller dining chairs compliment the teak panelling and contrast with the floor and Vice-versa with Eames Aluminium group chair. Sheepskin rugs and plants soften the overall look.
