Child’s Chair

This stackable child’s chair has a charming heart cutout in the back, which allows the user to lift the chair with one finger. The chair was included in the 1946 MoMA exhibition New Furniture Designed by Charles Eames and featured on the cover of House & Garden magazine’s Christmas gifts issue.

“4/27” is handwritten in black ink on a circular, white paper sticker attached to the underside. “LS44 147D” is handwritten in black ink on a white, rectangular sticker.
