It reproduces a number of abstract cross-shaped compositions, achieved with tapered lines and solid dots.The shape and rhythm resemble musical notes, and also the Plywood Chairs, characterised by tubular steel frames, shock mounts and rounded seats and backrests. After 1947, the combination of lines and dots became a recurring theme in the couple’s work, appearing for example in the children's Hang-It-All coat rack from 1953, and in the Multiplication Machine installation created for the Mathematica exhibition in 1961.Charles and Ray Eames explored the use of the Dot Pattern for some showroom projects between 1949 and 1954 but the lamps were never put into production. Thanks to a joint initiative between the Eames Office and Cassina, the idea of Charles and Ray takes shape in a collection of appliques and pendant lamps that combine modern technology and the American designers’ original graphic design.Lamp wired for Spain, if used somewhere else it might need to be converted by the buyer.Not UL ListedImportant information regarding images of products:Please note that some of the images show other colors and variations of the model, these images are only to present interior design proposals and different available models of the same family of products.
