Charles Eames Prototype Speaker U.S.A. 1956 In the late 1950s, the Stephens Trusonic company produced high quality monophonic speakers designed by the Eames Office. The production speakers are very rare today, but this experimental example is a unique prototype. According to Don Albinson, Charles Eames' close associate for decades, "a number of different designs for speaker enclosures were made and most of them were on Herman Miller pedestal bases. This one was put on four cast legs because of its size and shape. The legs were actually a George Nelson design but George okayed their use on this speaker cabinet." A very pure and architectural object, this museum-quality piece still functions as a speaker but is equally useful as an unusual table. (The lamp is a Stickley hammered-copper table lamp, with its original silk-lined wicker shade.) Provenance: Don Albinson Price  Condition excellent condition Measurements Height: 27 in. Width/Length: 36 in. Depth: 18 in. Specifications Number of items: 1 Materials/Technique: Teak case, cast aluminum legs Creator: Charles Eames Reference: 0809058091339 |
