Publisher's Note Eames Design is the first book to present the work of the extraordinarily prolific husband-and-wife team whose creative imprint revolutionized the look of postwar American society. In 464 pages and over 3,500 illustrations, every project--more than 200 in all--produced by the Eameses and their office of top-flight designers from 1941 to 1978 is examined in considerable depth.
Eames design is the first book to present a complete survey of the major projects produced by Charles and Ray Eames--the extraordinarily prolific husband-and-wife team who created the now-classic icons of 20th-century design, the Eames chair and the Eames Lounge chair. Ranging from early wartime work on plywood splints and gliders to the mass-produced furniture for home and office created for the Herman Miller Furniture Company, Eames design examines every project of importance produced by the Eameses and their staff. In addition to the incomparable furniture designs, we also see such revolutionary Eames work as their renowned film shows and installations, which forever altered exhibition design and introduced concepts of the new information age to millions of Americans.
