	title of this thread your message I didn't like reading that letter either. There is often a defensive stance from Eames. I don't think they need to protect themselves from the likes of Modernica. Everyone knows who Charles and Ray are. Everyone appreciates it. Everyone loves it. Fact is the shell chair the Eames Office is behind is not desirable to many of us. I get it, Charles and Ray would have made it in plain ol' plastic these days. But they didn't. They aren't here anymore (God bless their wonderful souls). People interested in design are often more interested in the leaps they DID make for design than anything else. When I buy, I buy vintage anyway. That's more eco-friendly than buying their plastic chair! If Eames himself reads this - please know I mean no disrespect. I just don't think Charles and Ray would go on writing bitchy self promoting letters to people. Lastly - I totally get making plastic chairs for mass use. I doubt anyone buying one to four of them for home use is going to dump them in a landfill! Maybe the plastic ones should be used for contract purchases only. The rest of us want the real deal. I'm sorry, but if someone buys new, the Modernica one reminds us of Charles and Ray more. I just can't buy a damn plastic chair. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
