Look! Eames Hack

2007-10-13-eameshack.jpg

No, not IKEA. You read correctly - this is an Eames hack. Sacrilegious to some. The design team used the Eames molded plywood dining chair and hacked it into a high chair and the classic shell chair is now a potty.

 
 

The team explained - The project is not a critique of the Eames, but rather a fulfillment of their original ideals.

What do you think?

My daughter would hate to have her legs shoved in those holes on the highchair! Yes, it's a much better-looking highchair than most out there, but at some point you have to draw the line. It almost looks like more of a torture device!

My first geeky thought was, "The DCM is totally wrong for a high chair -- it's way too deep." My second thought was, "A little part of my heart just died looking at that toilet seat." :( Sacrilegious indeed!

Not the best solutions, but Excellent studies and comments on design culture, and they need to be appreciated as so.

Myself, I prefer the Eames lounge chair toilet. Ottoman optional.
