Starting Tuesday, the windows at Barney's are getting a makeover courtesy of 20 of the city's street artists and one iconic chair. The Eames Foundation, Eames Office and Herman Miller have teamed up with the Public Works Department of New York to present 20 Eames® Molded Plywood Chairs designed by graffiti and street artists like Peru Ana Ana Peru and Billi Kid. They'll be on display next week through the end of the month in Barney's windows. The chairs will simultaneously be auctioned off online through June 1st to benefit Operation Design, a mentorship program that matches creative professionals with public school students to work on artistic projects. Too bad Shepard Fairey was a little busy.
