On the Eames office website, I found some cool cover designs of the Eames catalog dated back to the 50′s to 60′s. One of my favorite is the picture above because of the way they framed the chair. Although it’s graphic and cropped, it still reads and the use of negative space is also great.

“When we say a CATALOGUE RAISONNE includes ALL of a body of work we mean EVERYTHING. As with the best Catalogue Raisonnes, our Eames Catalogue Raisonne will include not only individual illustrated listings of each design, but also, reproductions of all the original sales material in which these designs are featured.” You can download their catalog as a pdf  here.

Despite the Eames office being located very close to where I live, I keep forgetting to make a visit. I’ll probably give it a shot this weekend.

I’m always quite fond of vintage car ads, especially the VW beetle ones that are shown here. The simple layout and witty tag lines could probably still be used today.

The links below has a great archive of beetle ads, check them out!

Berlin based photographer Matthias Heiderich takes quite beautiful pictures. I am totally in love with the way he makes his photos look simple and graphic with vibrant colors in dynamic compositions.

His color scheme somehow feels very vintage and I certainly love the framing.

Danish designer, Finn Juhl designed this gorgeous and unique sofa called Poeten for his own home in 1941. It is truly an art piece and was inspired by ‘free art’. I assume that the chair has a tall design because Finn Juhl might’ve been a tall person.

Price is approx $11,000 depending on upholstery choice. You can see the price range here.
