Eames Lounger Debut in 1956 on NBC

Check out this classic, and historical, video of the debut of the iconic Eames lounger in 1956 manufactured by Herman Miller.  Its interesting to see the the interviewer trying to "understand" the design process of the Eameses.  Its kind of amazing that you can still purchase one of these loungers from the Herman Miller company.  That is a testament to the longevity of good design.  We want one...badly. 

Pre-Fabulous!

Check out this great pre-fab modern home in Minneapolis. It's great to hear about modern projects that are accessible as well.  Love the lines.  Check it out on the Dwell web site:
