Charles Eames Furniture Exhibit Seoul Arts Center

So, it's a lot of chairs, but very lovely Chairs.
Seoul Arts Center has an exhibition of Charles ( and his wife Ray) Eames Furniture until March 29.

(The music is " Vintage" by Graham Wardrop, a New Zealand guitarist, from his album 'Vintage;
music to enhance the pleasures of wine'.)

Charles Eames (1907-78) and Ray Eames (1912-88) gave shape to America's twentieth century. Their lives and work represented the nation's defining movements: the West Coast's coming-of-age, the economy's shift from making goods to producing information, and the global expansion of American culture. The Eameses embraced the era's visionary concept of modern design as an agent of social change, elevating it to a national agenda. Their evolution from furniture designers to cultural ambassadors demonstrated their boundless talents and the overlap of their interests with those of their country. In a rare era of shared objectives, the Eameses partnered with the federal government and the country's top businesses to lead the charge to modernize postwar America.
