Charles and Ray Eames "Billy Wilder" Chaise
-
Description
The chaise was designed for film director Billy Wilder, who was Eames' friend. In 1955, while on location shooting in Nova Scotia for the feature film The Spirit of St. Louis, Wilder took an afternoon nap in a lighthouse on an improvised bench: a 6-foot-by-12-inch plank resting on two sawhorses. Wilder remarked at the time that he needed a narrow office couch on which he could take brief afternoon naps. Charles Eames remembered the conversation, and with Wilders' requirements in mind, the Eames Office began work several years later on the Chaise.

Message from Seller:
As a dedicated collector for over 15 years, I bring my passion to the selection of objects displayed in my gallery. it has always been my goal at coolhouse to find a unique eclectic mix of European, American and Asian design, art, lighting and furniture from 1880s to the present. I seek unique pieces and objects, which are outstanding in their craftsmanship and wish to give them a second life by introducing them to designers, architects, decorators and collectors.
