'Modern Vintage' is a webshop based in Amsterdam and specialized in high quality 20th century modern design. It all started with a small collection of Eames polyester glassfibre chairs, and now I’m buying and selling internationally, all original vintage design classics.
Nelson, Saarinen, Aalto, Bertoia, Braakman, Gispen, Kramer, Jacobsen, Prouvé and many other top designers from the 30’s to the 70’s. Still specializing in the work of Ray & Charles Eames, I am able to procure some of the rarest examples manufactured by Zenith plastics and Herman Miller.
Looking for a (set of) DAW, DAX, DCM, DCW, DKR, DSR, DSX, DSW, LCM, LCW, RAR in a particular color? Or just want to upgrade your chairs with dowel-, eifel- or rocker base? I get new items weekly, so if you see something you like or if you're searching for something special, just drop me an an email.

Leg Splint (WW2)
Quantity: 1
Evans, 1942
Plywood
Condition: good
Asking: € 650,-
It’s hard to imagine a current name-brand designer using their skills to contribute to the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, but during the more morally-clear World War II, Charles and Ray Eames lent their design skills to the war effort. Behold their bent-plywood leg splint from 1942, produced for the United States Navy by the Evans Products Company, Molded Plywood Division. During World War II, the U.S. Navy called upon Charles and Ray Eames to create a lightweight, inexpensive leg splint. The resulting design is a highly sculptural yet functional device that could be mass-produced and, being modular, conveniently and inexpensively transported. Access to military technology and manufacturing facilities allowed the Eameses to perfect their technique for molding plywood, which they had been working on for several years. In its three-dimensional, biomorphic form, the leg splint suggests the Eames’ subsequent, highly influential plywood furniture designs.
