The endless possibilites with the stools are possibly the reason why they are so popular today. See also the Walnut stools with three waves & one wave. History of the Walnut Stool (two waves) When Charles & Ray Eames designed the lobby of the Time & Life building in New York in 1959, they created a series of three footstools in turned walnut wood. As Ray Eames was experienced as a sculptor, she was the one who designed these particular stools. Considering it is an Eames piece, the Walnut stools are the result of an unusually simple manufacturing process, as it is simply turned from a massive piece of wood.
