Edited by their grandson Eames Demetrios, this book gathers details of Charles and Ray Eames's life and work across furniture, textiles, graphics, toys, film and photography, taking its visual, image-led format from Charles Eames's own slideshows.
A loving, detail-rich celebration of Charles and Ray Eames — their experiments, materials and the iconic pieces still in production today. It touches three SDF components at once: the Technological curiosity, the playful Procedures, and the timeless Outcomes. Edited by their grandson Eames Demetrios, the book gathers details from Charles and Ray Eames's life and work, from their designs in furniture, textiles, graphics, toys, film and photography to family photographs and documents. Its format takes inspiration from Charles Eames's own slideshows, in which he grouped images to communicate ideas directly and aesthetically, and it moves across chapters devoted to each of their disciplines.
