1942 Charles/Ray Eames Splint

During WW2, the US Navy commissioned Charles Eames to create a lightweight leg splint to replace the metal splints of the time. This wooden splint is the forerunner for the influential work that Eames would later bring to the furniture industry. A remarkable piece of history! And over 80 years old this is one of the most significant items we’ve ever had in.
