from "The Shell Chair by Charles Eames," Robust Flavor, 18 November 2008 :: via 37 Signals via Coudal ad infinitum
This (longish) video on the making of Eames fiberglass chairs circa 1970 is striking for its juxtaposition of tools and techniques that range from the quintessentially modern to the surprisingly old-fashioned (to the alarming—I don't think you're supposed to handle fiberglass with your bare hands!). And for the unbearably 1970s flute soundtrack. And for the chairs themselves, still cool and cozy after all these years.
