The Vitra Plywood Mobile, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1941, is a striking piece of mid-century modern design. This specific piece, known as Model A, showcases the Eames' early experiments with moulding plywood into biomorphic shapes, a technique that would later define their iconic furniture.
Crafted from aircraft plywood, the mobile features two distinct, organically shaped elements finished in black. The piece is suspended by a simple thread, allowing it to move gently with the air currents. It comes complete with its original Vitra packaging, including the box, protective paper, and the informational booklet, confirming its authenticity as an authorized original.
This mobile is in perfect condition, appearing unused and retaining all its original packaging. The black finish is flawless, and the structural integrity of the plywood is fully preserved, making it an exceptional find for collectors of Eames design.
Ideal for adding a touch of kinetic art to a living space, nursery, or home office, this mobile pairs beautifully with both mid-century and contemporary interiors. Its subtle movement and graphic silhouette provide a quiet, engaging focal point in any room.
