on saturday, steve and i boogied on down to the eames office on pico blvd. to pick up my coveted prize.
we had never been to the office, so to step foot inside the world of ray & charles's furnished wonderland was a dream come true. everything from fine molded plywood chairs and elephants to multi-colored storage units and shell chairs filled the floors.
our favorite gal, roz, showed us around, posed for some pix, and presented me with the "great legs" eames print.
MORE on the eames office plus my photo with the lovely roz after the jump...
