[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 413565, member: 267"]This was just bugging me, so I had to hunker down and get it done. I've found 2 things based on a collection of textiles commissioned by Schiffer in the late 50s. Most of those who contributed had never designed textiles. The group included George Nelson, Paul McCobb, Edward Wormley, Bernard Rudofsky and Salvador Dali. I found this tray by Eames based on her textile design "See Things," later licensed to Waverly Products. It's a unicorn, I think - I was never able to find a black one. It was coated with a layer of grink I had to dissolve with non-fuming Easy Off! I included her original pattern and the Waverly Mark. Sorry for the janky images :) [ATTACH=full]144139[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]144141[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]144140[/ATTACH] I knew nothing about this until I unearthed this "China Shop" fabric by George Nelson... I'll include links later with additional info - thought it was good, fun "keep your eyes peeled" material :) They're very collectible and easily sold!
