Peter Pearce
His I.I.T. Student Chair
1958

Charles hired him right after school
in 1958
because of this chair design.
It was very similar to the 670
which was relased 2 years earlier
 in 1956.
He worked there for 3 years.

    Hi, cool pictures. One note though...Peter Pearce joined the Eames Office more than two years after the Eames 670 lounge chair was put into production.

    Thanks for that. I will look at the book again tonight. I'm pretty sure Charles saw that student chair soon after 1958 though..... More details later.....

    Daniel, I corrected the post to reflect the proper direction of the influence with the IIT chair. Thanks for the heads-up!
