Spinning Tops for Herman Miller Select

Claire Sullivan - Tuesday, November 24, 2009

  

 

Inspired by the work of Charles & Ray Eames, design company Klein Reid have created these spinning tops for the Herman Miller Select series. Select is a once a year limited edition release of an item that stands out for its originality and authenticity. The Spinning Tops are inspired by Charles & Ray Eames philosophy of 'serious pleasure' and their 1969 film "Tops". "Toy's are not really as innocent as they look. Toys and games are preludes to serious ideas"  - Charles Eames. The Spinning Tops are made from solid walnut and are available as a set of three for a limited time only.

Herman Miller is available locally here.
