1942 Charles/Ray Eames Splint capsule just a couple of marksDuring WW2, the US Navy commissioned Charles Eames to create a lightweight leg splint to replace the metal splints of the time. This wooden splint is the forerunner for the influential work that Eames would later bring to the furniture industry. A remarkable piece of history!
