About the Designer
Charles & Ray Eames United States
Charles Ormond Eames, Jr (1907–1978) and Bernice Alexandra "Ray" (née Kaiser) Eames (1912–1988) were American designers, who worked in and made major contributions to modern architecture and furniture. They also worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film.
As Charles and Ray Eames saw it, designers just want to have "serious fun." This 68-inch-high, undulating screen resulted from their play. It's a portable, foldable, enjoyable way to divide space, provide a backdrop, and add privacy.
The screen was designed as a complement to other Eames molded plywood creations and features the same natural strength and signature style. It's also a stand-alone piece distinctive in all kinds of settings. THE DESIGN | FEATURES AT A GLANCE | DIMENSIONS | WHY BUY FROM US? The Design: - In an instance of serendipity, Charles Eames noted that the U-shaped cross-sections of plywood resulting from his early molding experiments were stable enough to stand alone. Make them longer, he thought, join them with a flexible connector, and fold them together neatly (for storage or shipment) or open them fully or partially to form an undulating wooden screen.
- The first 1946 production models used a flexible “vinylite” tape to join the plywood sections, another example of Eames putting to civilian use new materials and technologies developed in wartime.
- Today, a polypropylene mesh held securely by a new process ensures a longer life without compromising the integrity of the 1946 design.
