Description

Visual have an effect on: Nothing says modernist perfection like an Eames design
 
The creative duo Charles Eames (1907–1978) and Ray Kaiser Eames (1912–1988) transformed the visual character of The us. Though best known for their furniture, the husband and wife team were also forerunners in architecture, textile design, photography, and film.

The Eames’ work defined a new, multifunctional modernity, exemplary for its integration of craft and design, in addition to for the usage of up to date materials, notably plywood and plastics. The Eames Lounge Chair Wood, designed with molded plywood technology, became a defining furniture piece of the twentieth century, whilst the couple’s contribution to the Case Study Houses project not only made inventive use of industrial materials but also developed an adaptable floor plan of multipurpose spaces which would transform a hallmark of postwar up to date architecture.

From the couple’s earliest furniture experiments to their seminal short film Powers of Ten, this book covers all of the aspects of the illustrious Eames repertoire and its revolutionary have an effect on on middle-class American living.
