The Luxury brand Bally in celebration of their 160th anniversary has teamed up with the Japanese Magazine 'Openers' and Herman Miller to create 16 customized Eames Shell Chairs for a special charity auction. The chairs are being auctioned exclusively to Japanese readers of Openers until September 6th and the proceeds will be going to the Japanese 'more trees' organisation.

The chairs feature the iconic red Bally trainspotting stripe and a brass plaque with the Bally logo on the back.  If you can speak Japanese or can use Google Translate then you can go learn more about the Auction at: http://openers.jp/fashion/openers_mode/bally_160thanniversary_05.html

Limited to only 100 pieces, priced at 854,700 Yen and limited only to the Asian market.  A few lucky customers can have their lucky behinds gracing the black premium letter and black plywood framing of this special edition Eames Chair Lounge.

For that low low introductory price you will also get a limited edition framed poster seen below.

Christian Tedeschi work at the Telegraph Art Collective presented at the Oakland University Gallery showed an Eames plastic chair knockoff placed in front of a television playing all static, complete with a set of headphones resting in the middle of the chair.

The chair has been wrapped hundreds and hundreds of times in speaker wire, so that at first you don't realize it is seperated from the chair. The wire stretches off the chair and terminates at the headphones – which play the repetitive sounds of static displayed on the TV screen.  Check out more of his work here.
