Because Nothing Says Mid-Century Modern like prosthetics:

eames inspired prosthetic leg

Eames inspired Prosthetic Leg.  The suit with shorts and sock-free loafers just scream Charles and Ray.  Pray tell:  is that really the best chair they could find for the photoshoot?  If you need to see more:

mood board

I have never once thought to make a mood board for anything, does that make me a bad person?  My favorite part of this board are the images of Steve McQueen:  above them it reads "for our persona, we chose Steve Mcqueen, the King of Cool..." (ellipses theirs)  Because nothing says mid-century modern like Steve McQueen.  Where was the McQueen inspiration when they dressed that model?  Look I really appreciate the idea of bringing good design to prosthetics, I even think Eames is a great inspiration, but just because they used dark bent-wood does not mean that they hit the mark.  They didn't.   Another thing that says mid-century modern:  tattoos:

I was thinking of having the entire sears catalog line from 1924 tattooed on the back of my arm, but that's just me.
