What a Chair Carries · Vitra Design Museum · Weil am Rhein, Germany

There are objects you acquire and objects that stay. The EA 116 — designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958, found second-hand, kept six years — has never left Valeria Viollaz's studio in Lucerne. A curator who keeps what she selects. A visit to Vitra Design Museum that was not research, but return. What the museum confirmed is what the object already knew.
