Each Plywood Mobile, of which there are two designs in the collection, consist of two abstract-shaped plywood elements that playfully revolve around one another. These biomorphic shapes are strongly reminiscent of Ray‘s graphic artworks and archive imagery depicts they were hung as mobiles from the ceiling of the Eames's Los Angeles home.
These mobiles inject an element of play and movement into a space - particularly fitting for any studio space, children’s room, or eclectic home.
American husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound influence on the visual character of American life, producing original work within the fields of architecture, furniture design, industrial design, manufacturing and the photographic arts.
The Eames’ first partnered with Vitra in 1957 to produce some of the most iconic pieces of furniture in the history of interior design. Today Vitra continues to reflect their philosophy on design and functionality, best understood through Charles’ own words: “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design”.
