Kaleidoscope Jazz Chair

1960 • Directed by

Charles Eames

Photographed through a mirror system to achieve radial kaleidoscopic images, the beginning portion of this film consists of fast-moving kaleidoscopic images of chairs, objects, and materials. In the second half, kaleidoscopic images of the Eames Office dissolve into a sequence of stop-motion shots of Charles and Ray seated in multicolored plastic chairs. The music is a jazz track composed and arranged by Dick Marx.
