Eames® Wire Bikini Chair
Charles and Ray Eames
Price: $1,129
In the early 1950s, the Eames office investigated bent and welded wire as
the basis for furniture designs. Inspired by
trays, dress forms, and baskets, the office developed a variety of pieces, including the Eames wire
chairs. They made the rim of the chair a lighter-gauge wire and
doubled it for stability to achieve strength requirements and cost restraints.
This advance won them the first American mechanical
patent for design. The chair was marketed by
Herman Miller® until 1967 and reintroduced in 2001.
