Partners in life and work, Charles and Ray Eames are considered among the most innovative designers of the 20th century. Driven by great curiosity and a polyhedric spirit, they are best known for the enormous contribute given to the development of modern design, but they have also worked in the fields of architecture and film, graphic and art.
Edited by Eames Demetrios and Carla Hartman, two of the Eames Office’s five principals, and published by Vitra Design Museum, Essential Eames offers a retrospective on the working philosophy and personal approach of the creative couple. The volume contains images of the designers and their team, both in black and white and in colours, as well as inspirational quotes that celebrate their most brilliant speeches.
