Charles and ray eames dot pattern light suspension 6 spheres lamp by cassina iconic pattern initially created for a textile design competition launched in 1947 by the museum of modern art in new york, the dot pattern has become the most famous eames motif and a recurring theme throughout all their production. Charles and ray eames explored its use in lighting but the lamps were never put into production. Thanks to a joint initiative between the eames office and cassina, a collection of appliques and pendant lamps was created that combine modern technology and the american couple’s original graphic design. Production year 2025 initially created for a textile design competition launched in 1947 by the museum of modern art in new york, the dot pattern – never put into production during their lifetimes – became the most famous eames motif. It reproduces a number of abstract cross-shaped compositions, achieved with tapered lines and solid dots. The shape and rhythm resemble musical notes, and also the plywood chairs, characterised by tubular steel frames, shock mounts and rounded seats and backrests. After 1947, the combination of lines and dots became a recurring theme in the couple’s work, appearing for example in the children's hang-it-all coat rack from 1953, and in the multiplication machine installation created for the mathematica exhibition in 1961. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
