Polaroid introduces the limited Polaroid Now Gen 2 - Eames Edition

The Transcontinenta Group, distributor for Polaroid in the Benelux, introduces the new Polaroid Now Gen 2 - Eames Edition, a Limited Edition camera that celebrates the iconic style of Charles and Ray Eames.

Charles and Ray Eames, two of the most influential designers of the last century, were instrumental in Polaroid's early success with their communication campaign for the SX-70 camera in 1972. They produced four instructional videos on Polaroid instant photography, positioning Polaroid cameras not just as a photographic tool, but as a tool for artists, designers, and creatives. In honour of this unique collaboration, Polaroid is now introducing the Now Gen 2 in the iconic Eames fibreglass colour 'Elephant Hide Grey'.

As well as its unique colour, the Polaroid Now Gen 2 - Eames Edition also features a distinctive wrist strap that references the geometric pattern of the famous Eames toy. This collector's item offers the same advanced features as standard Polaroid Now cameras, including a self-timer, dual exposure mode and a 2-lens autofocus system. The camera is also made from 40% recycled material, contributing to a more sustainable future.

The Polaroid Now Gen 2 - Eames Edition celebrates the timeless creativity and craftsmanship of Charles and Ray Eames. This camera is not only a tribute to their legacy, but also a beautifully designed tool for contemporary photography.

Pricing and availability

The limited Polaroid Now Gen 2 - Eames Edition is available immediately from Polaroid dealers in the Benelux at a recommended retail price of €129.99.
