I’m having fun with Eames Plastic Chairs! There are a lot of options to choose from, but seeing them all together at the Vitra Eames plastic chair Pop-Up store in Amsterdam really made me smile! What a great way to personalize your home or office with these chairs.

Did you know that the Plastic Chair was designed by Ray and Charles Eames for a design contest for the Museum of Modern Art in New York back in 1948? It was the first industrial produced plastic chair. The shell was originally made out of fiberglass, and now from polypropylene in lots of colors.

“Getting the most of the best to the greatest number of people for the least’: with these words, Charles and Ray Eames described one of their main goals as furniture designers. None of their other designs come as close to achieving this ideal as the Plastic Chairs. For years, the designer couple explored the fundamental idea of a one-piece seat shell moulded to fit the contours of the human body. After experiments with plywood and sheet aluminium in the 1940s produce unsatisfactory results, their search for alternative materials led them to glass-fiber reinforced polyester resin.”

This chair has become a real design icon. Of course, the white version with the “Eiffel tower” base is the most seen one and is like a little black dress amongst the chairs. But how much fun is it to choose the colors, upholstery, shell and the base in a unique combination, so that it fits your personal style and interior or [home-] office?

At the Vitra Pop-up store in Amsterdam, you can actually create your own chair yourself. You have a wide variety to choose from: The family of the Eames Plastic Chair consists shells with or without armrests and a rocking chair base with a seat shell with armrests. Depending on the model, the bases are available in various finishes and wood types.

The organic seat shell is available in 14 different colors. You can choose from different types of coverings, with a seat cushion or fully lined with different fabric colors. Altogether there are more than 100,000 possible configurations!

I had a blast choosing and combining my very own personal Plastic Eames Chair! Would you like to design your own too? Then go over to the Vitra Popup store in Amsterdam. Its open until 27 January 2018, or try the online configurator at Vitra.com

Genieten met Eames Plastic Chairs! Ik weet dat er veel opties zijn om uit te kiezen, maar toen ik ze allemaal samen zag in de Vitra Eames Plastic Chair Pop-Up Store in Amsterdam verscheen er een grote glimlach op mijn gezicht. Wat een fijne manier om je huis of kantoor te personaliseren met deze stoelen.

Wist je dat de Plastic Chair ontworpen werd door Ray en Charles Eames voor een ontwerpwedstrijd voor het Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1948? Het was de eerste industrieel geproduceerde kunststof stoel. De schaal was oorspronkelijk gemaakt van glasvezel en nu van polypropyleen in heel veel kleuren.

“Een zo groot mogelijk publiek voor zo min mogelijk van zo veel mogelijk van het beste laten profiteren”. Zo omschreven Charles en Ray Eames zelf een van hun voornaamste doelen als meubelontwerpers. Geen van hun andere ontwerpen kwam zo dicht in de buurt van dit ideaal als de Plastic Chairs. Jarenlang diepte het ontwerperskoppel het basisidee van een naar het menselijk lichaam gevormde eendelige zitschaal uit. Nadat experimenten met multiplex en aluminiumplaat onbevredigende resultaten hadden opgeleverd, kwamen ze in hun zoektocht naar andere materialen uiteindelijk bij glasvezelversterkte kunststof uit.

Deze stoel is een echt designicoon geworden. Natuurlijk is de witte versie met de “Eiffeltoren” onderstel de meest gekozen versie en de little black dress onder de stoelen. Maar hoe leuk is het om de kleuren, bekleding, kuipje en het onderstel in een unieke combinatie te kiezen, zodat het past bij jouw persoonlijke stijl en interieur of bijvoorbeeld je werkplek in huis?

In de Vitra Pop-Up store in Amsterdam kun je zelf je eigen stoel creëren. Je hebt een grote verscheidenheid om uit te kiezen: De Eames Plastic Chair familie bestaat uit kuipjes met of zonder armleuningen en een schommelstoelonderstel versie met zitschaal met armleuningen.

Afhankelijk van het model zijn de onderstellen beschikbaar in verschillende afwerkingen en houtsoorten. De organische kuipjes zijn verkrijgbaar in 14 verschillende kleuren. U kunt kiezen uit diverse soorten stoffering, een zitkussen of volledig gestoffeerd, ook weer in verschillende stofkleuren. In totaal zijn er meer dan 100.000 mogelijke configuraties!

Ik vond het geweldig om mijn eigen persoonlijke Plastic Eames Chair samen te stellen! Wil je ook je eigen ontwerp maken? Ga dan naar de Vitra Pop-Up-store in Amsterdam. Het is open tot 27 januari 2018.  Of probeer de online-configurator op Vitra.com

These April and May Girls nailed it! This in September renewed interior design shop is styled and designed by April and May. They sell new design and vintage items and that really works well together.

I visited First or Second concept store during the Bloggerslunch organised by Sandra Meier of Accessorize your Home and Femke + Eddy Ditmars of Hééérlijk. I enjoyed this wonderful Scandinavian lunch and the companie of fellow bloggers.

April and May’s Jantine and Vivian showed us around the store.
It’ s a nice open, industrial and light space where besides the nice furniture the styling is very inspiring.

Pictures speak more than a thousand words,
So take a look at the photo’s I’ve made to get an impression.

Also stick around a bit here at my blog, because this is only the first floor.
The second floor will be shown in a new blogpost.

Enjoy!

Vitra Milan 2014 | The Eames Aluminium Chair color wheel by Hella Jongerius | salone del mobile

Vitra
salone del mobile Milan 2014:
 the new Eames Aluminium Chair
EA101, 103 + 104
and color wheel
by Hella Jongerius.

A narrower construction, new colors for the upholstery, a more upright seating, a slimmer base…
All ingredients for the new Aluminium Chair family members
EA 101, 103 and 104.
This new youngster is probably gonna be BIG in no time I think.
It’s a dining chair, just the missing one in the family.I love the Aluminium series a lot.
It’s a very clever design by Ray and Charles Eames,
where form, construction and function combine in a perfect way.
It’s a design from the 50’s and it’s never gone out of style.
The Softpad group joined the family in 1969 and the AE222 fauteuil is still on my wish list!

28 new upholstery colors were presented in Milan
at the Salone del Mobile 2014.
Impressive to see so many Aluminium Chair in so many colors!

Besides the Aluminium Chair
Vitra also put Hella Jongerius in the spotlight.

This Dutch designer is miraculously good with color
since 2008 she’s the Art Director for colors and materials at Vitra.
I think Hella is doing a great job
and I’m a big fan of her color choices.
As she says herself: “I like to give the classics a new energy.
It’s an honour to take care of our heritage.”
At the fair in Milan, Vitra presented some of Hella’s items and details,
like the buttons of the Poldersofa, the elephant mousemat and some really beautiful vases.
She also designed the East River Chair,
especially developed for the UN lounge in New York
in collaboration with Vitra.
The combination of materials, the thicker padding of the seat cushions
 and the strap at the back of the chair are there for a reason.
They make it a flexible and cheerful [or calm, depending on the color and material choices] chair, perfectly fit for public spaces.
Take a look at the Vitra website for more information and inspiration.
As you can see throughout my blog over the years,
I’m a fan of Vitra for a very long time now.
For the Dutchies:
If you like to shop for the beautiful Vitra products and furniture:
You can find them online at Flinders.

Vitra Milan 2014

De nieuwe 
Eames Aluminium chair 
EA101, 103 en 104 
voor Vitra.




Een smallere bouw, nieuwe kleuren voor de bekleding, 
actievere zit, een slankere voet … 
Allemaal ingrediënten voor de nieuwe Aluminium Chair familieleden:
 de EA 101, 103 en 104. 
Ik denk dat deze nieuwe telg in mum van tijd groot is, 
want dit is een Dining chair, ofwel eettafel stoel, het ontbrekende item in de familie. 


Ik ben fan van de Aluminium Chair serie. 
Het is een heel slim ontwerp van Ray en Charles Eames, 
waar vorm, constructie en functie op een perfecte manier combineren. 
Het stamt uit de jaren ’50 en is nooit uit de mode geweest. 
In 1969 kwam de “Softpad group” uit als aanvulling op de aluminium serie
 en de AE222 fauteuil staat nog steeds op mijn verlanglijstje! 


28 nieuwe kleuren bekleding werden op de 
Salone del Mobile 2014 in Milaan gepresenteerd. 
Indrukwekkend om zoveel Aluminium stoelen in zoveel kleuren te zien!

 
Naast de Aluminium Chair zette Vitra 
ook Hella Jongerius in de schijnwerpers.
Deze Nederlandse ontwerper is wonderbaarlijk goed met kleur
Sinds 2008 is ze de Art Director voor kleuren en materialen bij Vitra.
Ik vind dat Hella dat fantastisch doet: ik ben een grote fan van haar kleurkeuzes.


Zoals ze zelf zegt : 
“Ik wil de klassiekers graag nieuwe energie geven. 
Het is een eer om voor onze erfenis te mogen zorgen”

Op de beurs in Milaan presenteerde Vitra een aantal van Hella’s items en details zoals de knopen van de Poldersofa, de leren olifant muismat en een aantal prachtige vazen .


Ze ontwierp ook de East River Chair, die speciaal voor de VN- lounge in New York in samenwerking met Vitra is ontwikkeld. De combinatie van materialen, de dikkere vulling van de zitkussens en de greep op de rug van de stoel zijn er voor een reden:
Ze maken het een flexibele en vrolijke [of rustige, afhankelijk van de kleur en materiaal keuzes] stoel, die perfect geschikt is voor de openbare ruimte.




Wil je meer weten en zien van de Vitra collectie of over Hella Jongerius?
Neem een kijkje op de Vitra website voor meer informatie en inspiratie.

Zoals jullie al tijden uit mijn blog kunnen opmaken ben ik al heel lang fan van Vitra. 


Ben je opzoek naar de prachtige meubelen en accessoires van Vitra?

Some old but never out of style items | Eames | FUTURO

Some old but never out of style items

I was going through my pictures and I came across these photo’s
that I made a few years ago at the Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam 
and the architecture museum NAI Rotterdam.

I still love the designs by Eames 
and these chairs are the real early ones!
This couple, Ray and Charles Eames, 
were real inventors and made some very interesting and beautiful designs 
that nowadays are stil loved by many people worldwide.
The UFO style FUTURO by Matti Suuronen was originally made in 1968! 
I still like the outside shape and the functions inside. 
in that time this was so futuristic! 

And the quote above by Arno de Geest is something I believe too!

Hope you like it!

Wish you all a very nice weekend.
