An Eames of Your Own is The Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity’s latest guide, offering top tips for aspiring collectors of Eames furniture designs
furniture. Led by the institute’s head of acquisitions and research Daniel Ostroff, the guide lists what to keep in mind and what to look out for when acquiring vintage Eames furniture.
'The timeless quality of Eames designs has made the work of Ray and Charles beloved not only among fans of midcentury modern furniture, but just about anyone who enjoys the beauty and usefulness of good design,' writes Jeremy Lehrer in a text introducing the project.
An Eames enthusiast since his first purchase in 1987, Ostroff is both an avid collector and an expert on the subject, having spent much of his life researching the two designers' works through conversations with collectors, curators, conservators, dealers, Eames Office alumni, and Eames family members. Here, he shares the top tips for collecting vintage Eames furniture.
It's generally best to preserve the original quality of a design, but if you do have to make modifications, think of making changes that can increase the longevity of the piece. 'There’s an aesthetic to repaired goods, and it’s an extension of what Ray and Charles were thinking about,' adds Ostroff.
