The folks at Fab hoped that while mingling with fellow design royalty over speck and truffle-wrapped asparagus, the preserver of the Eames legacy might just decide to sell the iconic modern furniture on its ecommerce site. “I think they are finding a new way to have a conversation with the public that offers an intuitive sense of design,” Demetrios told me that evening.
