Charles & Ray Eames Stools

Eames_stool

Are they tables or are they seating? You cut put a good case for the Charles & Ray Eames Stools being both.

Dating back to 1960 and (like most pieces) back in circulation from Vitra, these Stools were part of a commission for the lobbies of the Rockefeller Center in New York, producing these three solid walnut items, each with distinct turned central areas.

Expect a weighty item for your money – but also a versatile one. Prices are around £700.

Get some 70s style with the B&B Italia Le Bambole sofa range

Bambole

First launched in 1972 and available again in 2008, the B&B Italia Le Bambole sofa range is seating to sink into.

The selling point is/was an apparent lack of structure – giving the impression of a large cushion and offering the comfort and softness you would expect on first sight.

The latest range comes as an armchair, two-seater sofa, three-seater sofa and two sizes of footstool, as well as a range of fabric options. Prices start at £1,583 for the armchair.
