Hopsak fabric
Hopsak is an expressive plain weave flat woven made from polyamide. Available in contrasting, bright or soft tones, two-tone fabrics (warp and weft) can be used in a wide variety of contexts. Very durable and robust, Hopsak is suitable for both private interiors and public spaces. 

Hopsak is available in 35 colors.

Checker fabric
Alexander Girard developed the Checker pattern in 1965, as part of his legendary redesign of Braniff International Airlines' visual identity. The checkerboard pattern is a perfect illustration of Girard's radical break with the traditional moderate aesthetic that characterized the industry at the time. 

Checker is available in 1 color.

This semi-aniline leather with its pleasant softness comes from sustainable production.

Charles (1907-1978) and Ray (1912-1988) Eames left their mark on the history of 20th century design, of which they accompanied the transition to the stage of mass production by being part of the continuity of the work undertaken by Finnish architect designer Alvar Aalto.

In 1925, Charles Eames began studying architecture which he interrupted after two years of boredom. Four years later, he traveled to Europe where he enthusiastically discovered the innovative work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. Upon his return to the United States, he opened his own architectural practice and worked several times in association with the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen. It was with Eliel's son, Eero Saarinen, that he won his first design prize, awarded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York following an organic design competition.

In 1938, encouraged by Eliel Saarinen, Charles Eames resumed his architectural studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts, where he quickly became a professor of industrial design. There he met Ray Kaiser, a painting student, who would become his assistant, then his wife, in 1941.

The couple settled in California, in Venice, where they created various film sets for the MGM studio. It was in this context that they developed their technique of molding and bending plywood, drawing on the technical innovations of Alvar Aalto. In 1942, during World War II, the US Navy subsidized them to further develop their know-how, useful in boats and submarines. After which, they created their own company, Evans Products, to distribute their own creations. It was a commercial failure, but the company allowed them to meet the entrepreneur Herman Miller in 1946 - three years later, the Eames couple's furniture achieved its first success.

In 1949, Charles and Ray Eames organized an exhibition of their prefabricated house in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. Designed as part of the Case Study Houses, with a light structure and a parallelepiped shape evoking Japanese architecture, the Eames House became a reference for this new method of construction.

It was in 1956 that Charles and Ray Eames experienced their greatest success as designers (six million copies sold worldwide): the Eames Lounge Chair, made up of three-dimensional molded plywood shells, today produced by the Vitra and Herman Miller companies.
