The Eames Walnut Stool 原本是Eames夫妇为纽约洛克菲勒中心的时代生活大厦设计的。Ray负责设计，绘画。Charles负责在胡桃木上的具体操作。经过了一系列将设计想法变成现实的实验，二人选定了三款主要形状。并且对于日常作为矮桌或是座椅使用，椅面上细微的弧度，也是至关重要。这款椅子至今也是Herman Miller的畅销产品。
The Eames Walnut Stool (1960) was originally designed for the lobby and executive suites of the Time-Life Building at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Ray took the lead on design, drawing on her sculpture training. Working with blocks of solid walnut, the Eameses used a lathe to sculpt pleasing profiles, similarly to how one would be used to make turned legs for chairs and tables. After experimenting with several ideas, the duo chose three shapes for the Time-Life lobby to accompany the Eames Executive Chair and large murals by Josef Albers and Fritz Glarner. Crafting each for use as a table or seat – finding just the right curve for the top was crucial to its success – the Eameses were so fond of the design that they used it throughout their Pacific Palisades home. This is the authentic Eames Walnut Stool by Herman Miller. Made in U.S.A.
