Musical Eames Chairs Anyone?

In celebration of today's release of the Eames stamps issued by USPS,  I thought I would post a few photos from the Eames Foundation annual member's appreciation day held this past weekend.  We had a tasty lunch and tours of the home given by the Eames' family was a real treat.  However, the highlight of the day was 'adults only' musical Eames chairs!  Thirty plus people battled it out, but only one took home the grand prize:  photograph #82 from the exhibit at the Eames office of 100 photos for Charle's 100th birthday.
