Time Life Stool A designed by Charles and Ray Eames and produced by Herman Miller in the United States, circa 1960s. Commissioned for the Time-Life Building in New York, Stool A reflects the Eames Office's interest in sculptural forms that also serve a practical purpose. Constructed from laminated solid walnut, this example showcases a striking mosaic of walnut blocks, with alternating grain directions creating a faceted surface that changes with the light. Often referred to as the "Applecore Stool," its compact scale allows it to function equally well as a stool or occasional table.
