I'm obsessed with the eames lounge chair + ottoman, thanks for helping me grasp a better understanding about the history of the designers. Great insight as usual and congrats on the 100th video!
This video is great. The story telling with the voice-over, the additional information shown on screen, the way you were speaking to the camera to sort of discuss the topic. It's a good mix of all those things. I never thought a video about chairs would be that interesting.
thank you flo3m, this is basically my first "video essay" so it's a little outside my comfort zone but I think for the most part it turned out pretty well
It’s good to see others that view fashion and aesthetic as more than just outfits. I love interior decor and fashion equally and they both play parts into who I am and how I present myself. My home is an extensions of who I am and how I dress.
I love your furniture videos, it's something really cool that's kinda missing on this platform and with you being one of the only ones doing it this well I'm sure you'll grow a lot. It's really cool to talk about design outside of only clothes.
Hey man, I just discovered your channel like an hour ago and I think I’m low key obsessed. Before watching this vid, I saw your vid on the Wassily chair and I was hoping if you could do one covering the Barcelona Chair. If you read this, thanks and know that you got a new subscriber!
My grandfather worked with Charles and Ray back in the 60s. He has so much wakes furniture and even a custom lounge chair with specific wood and textile picked out by my grandfather. He also has a wooden splint hanging in his office. This furniture is in my blood.
great video christian! loved the exploration of something not fashion related and hearing your viewpoints based on a design perspective (which goes hand-in-hand with your videos relating to clothing)
This was a great video. I’ve known about these chairs but never known why it was so celebrated and revered in design history. But now I know thanks for all the great info!
glad I could help, I'm sure a lot of its continued appreciation is kind of an echo chamber (its famous because its famous) but like the Wassily chair there was legitimate innovation with the lounge chair
@@BraveNewWear right I’m sure that helps. I’d love it if you look into other mediums of art as well. Like if you touched on some architecture or music as well. Especially because I think taste is such an important part of developing your style.
Hey, new subsciber here lol. As I aspire to study Industrial Design next year and have geniuine interest more in art/design than fashion(which still is a novelty hobby to me) I have noticed that the „fashion community” really loves either the Eames Lounge Chair or the Model B3/Wassily Chair. I wonder if this is just the same type of situation where you recently got into a new field and start developing taste branching from the way you dress to the physical objects such as furniture - the aformentioned chairs to be exact. I genuinely can’t wrap my head around the fascination the stereotypical fashion people have with those two models - they are definitely well designed both in function and looks but they are more like icons/front cover celebrities of the furniture design and there is so much more to discover. For example there is Smoke chair from the identically named line by a Dutch designer Maarten Bass which is very much in resonance with what Rick Owens is making in terms of vibe. Highly reccomend checking him out. Excellent video in terms of research btw, love your content and the freshness compared to the other fashion related channels, cheers;D
And Luthiers, I really should have been more specific, the innovation was a matter of mass producing this molded wood but I appreciate the comment Patrick
I just discovered you and I’ve subscribed. I’ve watched several of your videos and you have not spouted a single fashion or lifestyle rule or proscription. I really appreciate that. Maybe the Eames were inspired by luthiers who have been bending wood using molds, heat and pressure for centuries. Charles got way more credit than Ray who was a natural introvert. I can’t help but think that it may have caused a significant amount of resentment between the two.
thank you for subscribing Neil! (I mean I think "rules" are for people who arent interested in having fun with fashion so I dont think we need any) And really cool suggestion, I didnt come across anything saying Ray or Charles were inspired by luthiers who of course have been crafting instruments for centuries but thats a really interesting prospect
Great video. I've been drooling over this chair design since I learned about it a few years ago. I love the Mad Men masculinity it oozes. Gonna buy a knockoff version soon.
hey, I was writing a paper about the chair and this video helped me a lot, but since I need to put the sources at the end of my paper I don't know if youtube link would be appropriate, so about the war and arm split thing can you recommend me some sources please, and again, the video was so catchy so thanks for that.
hey Esra! Really hope this videos did help in some way - I know I included a handful of links BUT (not that I'm trying to become a scholar) I'm certain that there is a MLA format for citing a video online
I realize this is a year old… but I was wondering if you might still remember - WHY Eames could not mass produce the chair made of plywood? I guess that issue is what led to the process they use today, which hasn’t changed in 50 years gluing multiple ply sheets together and molding them with heat and pressure…
I can't imagine paying $8k for a chair. Though I did acquire mine very cheaply, and it's still in use with a few repairs. Not bad for an almost 60 year old chair.
Pushed into the background like Charlotte Perriand. It is interesting that in the video she says that his designs face the same rigorous criticism as all designs in the studio. The implication given is that she was the critic.
9:45 I believe that's Arlene Francis. SUPER smart, classy, talented lady. A first rate wit, and knew full well that genius didn't require an X and Y chromosome. Love Arlene. "Charles wouldn't have been the iconic designer if it wasn't for Ray, and vice versa" ? Are you SURE about that? Could be, I don't know.
Great video! Yeah the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman were always a premium good. It was $578 for the set in 1956! Adjusted for inflation, the price of the chair has always been basically $5000! I inherited a "replica" chair from my late father and let me tell you. IT SUCKS! But it was his and it looks good even though it isn't comfy! It is a status symbol but not a necessity!
Sadly there are many female designers who have been overshadowed by the famous men typically associated with modernism. Eileen Gray, Lilly Reich, Lella Vignelli, etc. all created amazing work that is underappreciated, forgotten, or misattributed to the male designers they worked with.
totally Sh0gun, at least now if you look to buy designs by the Eames both Ray and Charles are credited, but its not the same as being recognized during your life
Didn't think I'd be watching a brave new chair video but here we are. I learned something new today
learn something new everyday glad I was able to make it possible :)
I'm obsessed with the eames lounge chair + ottoman, thanks for helping me grasp a better understanding about the history of the designers. Great insight as usual and congrats on the 100th video!
thank you i've really enjoyed making them - time flies I guess when you're having fun :)
The fact that someone creates this kind of content is simply amazing. Wish more people could appreciate
ONE DAY they will, thank you for the support Daniel!

Good to see you venturing outside clothing. Enjoyed this one
thank u Alex I think the audience really enjoys a mix up and I'm interested in a lot of the design world outside of fashion
Brave new wear, a fashion and chairs youtube channel
I MAKE CLOTHES AND CHAIR VIDEOS THATS IT
It’s good to see others that view fashion and aesthetic as more than just outfits. I love interior decor and fashion equally and they both play parts into who I am and how I present myself. My home is an extensions of who I am and how I dress.
for sure, I think interior design maybe is something fashion enthusiasts move into once they're older / have more money, etc
I love your furniture videos, it's something really cool that's kinda missing on this platform and with you being one of the only ones doing it this well I'm sure you'll grow a lot. It's really cool to talk about design outside of only clothes.
Awesome and insightful video about a chair, I didn’t know I knew! Big thanks!
Your videos improve on a daily basis! Great job and I never imagined I'd watch this head to tails.
I love to hear that! I really wanted the video to be compelling end to end
Every video you put out, ends up being the best one yet👌🏾
thank u Plum :) always appreciate your feedback
I bought an Eames chair on a teacher's salary in 1966. Still have it.Thanks for your very informative video.
The new filming angle and backdrop is so cool.
I appreciate that! buuuut, I cant take credit I was using a friends room, the background are her paintings, illustrations, etc
Love your videos, always interesting to watch
As an industrial designer, this was super fun to watch! Also the facts were really on point so don’t feel insecure at all man!!!
thank u Michael that's awesome to hear! Really, furniture design like this isn't exactly my expertise so I'm glad to get the pro feedback
incredible storytelling, enjoyed this a lot !
really glad you enjoyed tried to make the video compelling from start to finish
Another banger of a video, keep up the good work
thank U Tillman happy to get this video out there
dude your channel is amazing , your videos are very funny and informative
really loved the thumbnail for this video :)
thank u B, I actually changed it last second bc I thought this 1 was more fun
@@BraveNewWear i really love your channel, keep it up

thank u William, I've got a few more ideas for design / non-fashion videos that will be in the works so stay tuned
to be honest, this was very touching and moving!
Appreciate it friend

@@emoburger42069 totally, all these interests in music, art, film play a role with each other. Maybe architecture next lets see
Brave New Wear after all Virgil Abloh went to architecture school LOL perhaps its meant to be...
Love learning about the history behind all this. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do Camden
Great history of this art/chair.
Awesome video! So cool to learn more about the history of one of my favorite designs!
happy to help Dina :)
Great vid. Post-covid will be different for sure
hopefully dude, I'm hoping this catastrophe will result in a similar revival of design
Thank you for pointing out the sexism Ray Eames faced!
Amazing video
great video mate
thx m8 glad u enjoyed
Well done!
yo this video is so fire. thank you for this. in 2022 idk where else to find this info.
Great video, thank you.
Very interesting, love the lounge chair. Great insight
feel free to send me 1 if u want Angela
I can’t believe I was watch a video about chair 🪑 good job 👌
Damn bro thank you for this.
Great video

It's a lovely chair, no doubt...💯✔

0:08 What’s the name of the furniture at the right.
Cool video! Small quibble: we've been able to bend wood for quite some time. Baskets and boats are notable examples of this.
And Luthiers, I really should have been more specific, the innovation was a matter of mass producing this molded wood but I appreciate the comment Patrick

I ordered 2 of these for my birthday, replicas but have them, non the less! Just need a nice position to place them in now. 🥳
wowow 2 Eames lounge chairs pretty impressive even if they arent Herman Miller official

where did you find the video @12:27 its really great!
Great moves sciatabaratatatarata

more furniture videos!
tbh! I've known about the Wassily and Lounge chair but now I've got to find a new piece with a cool story
I realize this is a year old… but I was wondering if you might still remember - WHY Eames could not mass produce the chair made of plywood?
I guess that issue is what led to the process they use today, which hasn’t changed in 50 years gluing multiple ply sheets together and molding them with heat and pressure…

I make sure to regularly mention to my parents how much I love our heirloom Eames’ so I inherit and not my siblings
thats the only way to do it AJ u gotta get ahead of the competition
Aside from the cool learnings, you kind of gesticulate like a Beastie Boy so-you know-also cool.
Yeah I'm Mike C and I'm back from the dead, chilling at the beach down at club med
yayayayayayayayayayayayayay you really did make a video like the wassily
I really really did it this time

@12:35 - I'm fairly certain that's a Plycraft chair. Not an actual Eames....... surely inspired / copied by it, though.
How do you do, fellow designers?
Bro the tyler eames was all I was thinking about ahhaha
"I did not know anything about the eames chair or herman miller before I came here, to the brave new wear show" Tyler, The Creator actual quote
@@BraveNewWear damn C when's the crossover episode where you customize and the destroy bikes with T
@@sahilmishra2945 made a video where Tyler and I drag race in his McLarens but I can release it bc its just too edgy
@@BraveNewWear forbidden fashion content, christian breaks the law
Not only Herman Miller , also Vitra!!!
I'm trying to make a steve Buscemi chair pun
lmk when u think of something
@@BraveNewWear My best was steve buschairmi but thats rlly bad

What started as an interesting video about the lounge chair quickly turned into an annoying woke lecture...
you'd have to be very short to sit in this without your neck hurting due to lack of support. The dudes in the pics looks short af

most people say my eyes look like steve buscemi's so I appreciate it

yeah and meanwhile I post the vid on Reddit and it gets downvoted. I thought this is what you wanted Reddit!
