Charles & Ray Eames: Pioneers of Mid-Century Modernism

by Peter Gossel, Gloria Koenig
Charles & Ray Eames: Pioneers of Mid-Century Modernism
Charles & Ray Eames: Pioneers of Mid-Century Modernism

Trailblazers in mid-century design and creativity.

The Charles and Ray Eames book is for anyone who appreciates design that shapes the way we live. Their iconic furniture is just the beginning. As you dive into this exploration of their careers, you'll find that their influence stretches across architecture, industrial design, and even film. It's an inspiring journey through the legacy of two visionaries who fundamentally understood function, beauty, and the human experience.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects, etc.,... the quality of the connections is the key to quality per se. - Charles Eames... everything hangs on something else. - Ray Eames. Nothing says modernist perfection like an Eames design. Though they are best known to the general public for their furniture, the husband and wife duo of Charles and Ray Eames were also forerunners in the fields of architecture, industrial design, photography, and film. This book covers all the aspects of their illustrious career, from the earliest furniture experiments and molded plywood designs to the Case Study Houses to their work for Herman Miller and films such as the seminal short, Powers of Ten.
