Eames DSW with numbers

I know – they are gorgeous! :) Don’t quite get the historical background though as WW2 ended in 1945 and the design is of a later date. Guess the American soldiers stayed in Germany sorting things out after the war…Or, someone might know the proper story?

No regularity as far as I’ve seen – some sets of 6 were auctioned last fall, and now in March / April some gangs (4 and a pair) have shown up. Would expect a few more but who knows – they might have changed hands enough now for a while.

I’ve actually come to hate auctions – they are so unpredictable! Yesterday evening, I wanted to buy a thing for our bedroom wall and the price went from 700 SEK to more than 4 000 SEK in the last 60 seconds! And when you ponder it, only two people, me and another bidder, was needed to change the value of an item and raise it like that. IF ONLY that other person hadn’t been awake those few minutes :p

Oh, interesting question! I’d say yes yes yes, mix them with any chair! Any other chair you fancy. Have a look at the ”odd chair mix” tag, I’ve collected some mixing examples:

Or, don’t mix. Just follow your style, your instincts. Would you mix a pair of Prada jeans with a Topshop-t-shirt? Do you prefer a clean line? Look at photos and see if you like it or not. Listen to your gut feel. I sometimes find only (same-coloured) Eames together, like six of them, look too compact, but of course it has its advantages too. Neither way is right or wrong – so only thing I can say is: never mind ‘the rules’ – there aren’t any! :)

yupp, i know exactly what your saying! If only I had never seen them at all.. and thought IKEA had the nicest of chairs…=) Speaking of mixing or not mixing chairs there is definitely a price aspect to it too. If I could afford anything in the world, I think I’d choose six vintage Eames DSW in various nice colours for my dining table :) Now instead, I start with two and for the remaining four I use a bit of this and that. Staring to get a bit tired of checking out flea markets in the weekends (and having a temporary solution) but sooner or later I will have found a sweet hodgepodgy chair team!

And another great thing is that one can build it step by step. I’m thinking that when I feel it’s worth it and have found another lovely but expensive chair I can just get rid of one of the odd & affordable.

OJ att dom säljer dem på Blocket sedan!! Dom kanske ropar hem dom och sen säljer dom för mer??

Hi! :) Exactly, I saw them in military green first too, and it wasn’t really until I spotted the beige ones that the wow factor appeared…

Are you sure? That’s quite a long while to sit on a fancy Eames DSW chair :P Jokes aside, I wouldn´t be surprised if you are right :)
