Produced in close collaboration with Eames estate, this novel publication presents the husband-and-wife team from both personal and professional perspectives, in addition to the full of life interplay of their private and non-private lives. Charles and Ray Eames are a few of the most important twentieth century designers, and the story of the Eames Place of business is that of the history of visual and material culture in the post-war, modern period. This groundbreaking monograph charts the history of their inspiring and prolific world and brings together key works and ideas explored at the Eames Place of business all through its unusual history.

It explores the era-defining work of the Eames Place of business, a ‘laboratory’ active for over four decades that produced a vast array of pioneering and influential projects – from architecture, furniture and product design to film, photography, multi-media installation and exhibitions, in addition to new models for arts education. Alongside newly commissioned texts by leading design experts, The World of Charles and Ray Eames will include contemporaneous reviews and magazine articles, writings by Charles and Ray Eames themselves, personal correspondence and a comprehensive reference section. This ambitious publication will turn into the usual work on the Eames, destined to influence future generations of designers of all descriptions.
