Vitra—one of two companies licensed to produce the Eames Lounge chair & ottoman—released this video showing the craftsmanship that goes into each piece of furniture. Seeing how the chair is made only makes me want it more and more.

I really don’t think this video showed much craftsmanship at all. After the 1:20 mark, it’s just the kid assembling all of the ‘crafted’ parts. Calling them crafted, though, is an assumption since most of it is not shown.
To me, this is a video that, by the style it’s shot in, says, “This is a beautiful process that goes generally unappreciated because it is either not seen or skipped over for the end result. Here, watch.” But what I was shown was actually quite boring and pretty lame. The artistry of and the effort put into the shooting tells me one thing; the content tells me something very different.
I think it’s pretentious and it makes me want the chair less.
Philip, Totally agree.
I was really looking forward to this video, I thought they would be cutting/shaping the wood.
The way this video is shot just hides how boring and simple what the kid is doing (assembly that someone like me, with limited skills, could easily take on).
The Eames Lounge Chair is dank, but this video does not show it.
Agreed, this definately does not benefit the high end target of the Eames chairs. I have seen a similar video of the Eames tub chair assembly process from the 60’s and it is a lot more involved with the actual build process, not just assembling the pieces.
Still, I would love an original Eames chair
Reaching slowly for a screw while assembling premade parts doesn’t equal craftsmanship. Looks like me putting together a chair from IKEA.
