    • Il duo creativo Charles Eames (1907–1978) e Ray Kaiser Eames (1912–1988) ha cambiato l'aspetto dell'America. La coppia è conosciuta soprattutto per i suoi mobili, ma ha anche realizzato opere innovative nei settori dell'architettura, del design tessile, della fotografia e del cinema. Le opere degli Eames rappresentano una nuova modernità multifunzionale, caratterizzata dalla fusione di artigianato e design e dall'uso di materiali moderni come il compensato e la plastica. La Eames Lounge Chair Wood, realizzata con una nuova tecnica di deformazione del compensato, è diventata un simbolo del XX secolo. Per le Case Study Houses, la coppia ha utilizzato in modo innovativo materiali industriali e ha sviluppato un piano flessibile per spazi multifunzionali, diventando un marchio distintivo dell'architettura moderna del dopoguerra. Questo volume esplora tutti gli aspetti dell'illustre opera degli Eames, dai primi esperimenti con i mobili al film innovativo Powers of Ten, analizzando il suo impatto rivoluzionario sullo stile di vita della classe media americana.

    • 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 EamesNothing 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 (1907-78 and 1912-88, respectively) 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.
