Herman Miller Eames Chair
Vitra and Herman Miller, in partnership with the Eames Office, releases a limited edition of 500 Eames Fiberglass Armchairs featuring the hand-painted cat originally sketched by renowned midcentury artist and ARS member Saul Steinberg.
Upon their debut in 1950, the Eames Shell Chairs were the world's first industrially mass-produced chairs with the seat and backrest formed from a one-piece shell. During a visit to the Eames Office, ARS member Saul Steinberg, a friend of Charles and Ray Eames, spontaneously picked up a brush and drew a number of lively figures on the furniture, floors and walls of the studio, including a sleeping cat depicted in the lap of one Eames chair shell. Now, in a special collaboration between Vitra, Herman Miller, and the Eames Office, 500 limited-edition fiberglass armchairs with an exact replica of Steinberg’s original drawing will be available, licensed by ARS. You can pre-register for your handpainted, numbered chair via Herman Miller.

MECCA Arena
Where art and sports meet. In 1977, the town of Milwaukee hired pop artist Robert Indiana to paint a basketball court for the Milwaukee Bucks's home arena (where they played from 1968 to 1988.) Indiana used the court as his canvas to create the World's Largest Pop Art Painting. A bright yellow court featured the words "MECCA," the arena's name, painted so largely that TV cameras could not miss it. It was thus dubbed the "floor that made Milwaukee famous." In 2017, the Milwaukee Bucks re-created Indiana's floor for their return to the MECCA arena.
