Since the original fibreglass design\, the Eames brothers have produced several different models and styles of chairs that can still be found in homes and offices around the world. \nWhile the chairs in the silent auction are not artifacts of the bunker\, they do represent an aspect of North American culture during Cold War era and give us a glimpse into what life was like at the time. By taking home one of these stylish pieces from the Diefenbunker’s storage\, you are supporting our ability to continue stewarding the expansion of our collections and our preservation efforts. \n  \n\n\nTHANK YOU TO OUR EVENT SUPPORTERS\nRADIUM LEVEL SPONSORS\n \n \n  \nSOMMELIER AND WHISKY SELECTIONS\n \n  \nFOOD CURATION\n \nNEPTUNIUM LEVEL SPONSORS\n\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nInterested in sponsoring this event?
