An Iconic Pattern
The Eameses developed their Dot Pattern in 1947 but opted not to submit it to MoMA’s Competition for Printed Fabrics. It did not go into production during their lifetime, but later became their most popular textile design when it was revived in 1999.
-
Music & Chairs
The pattern recalls musical notes but also a resemblance to Eames’ famous chairs with tubular frames and rounded seat and backs.

The Eameses & MoMA
The Museum has been exhibiting work by Charles and Ray Eames since 1941, beginning with Organic Design in Home Furnishings. Other exhibitions included New Furniture Designed by Charles Eames (1946) and Good Design (1950–51).
Based on the simple recognizability of iconic Eames pieces. The ’Solar Do- Nothing-Machine”, “Plywood Sculpture”, and “Hang-It-All” are knocked out of our matte white screen printed ink to reveal beautiful walnut wood, on 7.75”, 8.0”, and 8.25” decks respectively. In addition is Globe’s iconic Blazer cruiser, adorned with the colorful Eames Toy pattern art.

Eames Office + Globe Eucalyptus Deck
Carefully and deliberately removed as part of the Eames Foundation’s 250 Year Plan to protect the Eames House and its landscape, the Eucalyptus Deck emerged as a way of giving ‘Molly’ new life – and it exists as a celebration of design and culture that brings Globe and the Eames Office together in this first project in an ongoing collaboration.
Available exclusively at the “Eames Office: 80 Years of Design” Exhibition at Isetan in Tokyo.

Felling
With an array of chainsaws, rigging equipment, harnesses and protective gear, sections of ‘Molly’ were carefully removed and lowered to the ground without harm to the Eames House. Each length was then taken from the property to begin their second life as the Eucalyptus Deck.
-
Milling
‘Molly’ was then milled into a raw plank material and carefully stacked to then be kiln dried. This drying process required more than a month of daily monitoring to ensure the timber did not split or ‘check’. Great care through this process offered enough raw material to create the limited edition of 100 decks.
-
CNC Routing
Each section of ‘Molly’ was surfaced down into smaller, smooth deck lengths – and each deck was shaped with a CNC machine. This technology offered a computer-controlled precision that allowed us to incorporate features that echo Charles and Ray’s own designs.
-
Laser Etching
The deck top was then laser etched with the Eames’ Dot Pattern. The contrast of positive and negative space in the Dot Pattern offered a high-low texture that complements the need for grip and makes the deck skateable.
-
Product Detail
The same laser etching process was used to produce an architectural line drawing of The Eames House on the Eucalyptus Deck. This drawing features alongside the signatures of Ray and Charles – and depicts ‘Molly’ in her first life as tree #236.
-
Finished for Collectability
Light sanding and the application of a finishing oil bring out the natural grain of the eucalyptus wood and the unique characteristics of each deck. Finished for collectability in a strictly limited run of 100 – the first of our collaborations with the Eames Office.
