An Eames Anthology
By Charles and Ray Eames, edited by Daniel Ostroff
Charles and Ray Eames remain the best-known designers of the 20th century, purveyors of a warm, eclectic modernism that lives on a million homes and magazine features. They brought an analytic, problem-solving approach to contemporary design, and their practice was extraordinarily diverse, running from architecture to film, graphics, furniture and more. This new anthology fills in the textual background to their output, exploring the words behind the projects and giving a fascinating insight into the creative world of mid-century America.
