An Eames Primer

Book excerpt: "The first book to capture the philosophy and spirit behind the work of Charles and Ray Eames, this book offers an in-depth look at the couple's prolific legacy-one that has placed them among the most important designers of the twentieth century. Those who know one or two aspects of the Eameses' work are often surprised to learn how far and wide their range extended. Yet throughout their myriad works, from architecture and furniture to exhibition design and filmmaking, their core philosophy prevails." - inside cover.
