Six magnificent films capture the crafting of the Eames Lounge Chair—a process that marries machine technology with hand craftsmanship. The first film, 670/671, was described by Roberta Smith of the New York Times as “a short but riveting documentary.” Quartet explores the intricacies of making and finishing the plywood, making the cushions and the final assembly of the chair. The sixth film, handwork, celebrates the numerous hands that ensure that all goes as Charles and Ray envisioned.
