Description & Specifications

The creative duo Charles Eames (1907–1978) and Ray Kaiser Eames (1912–1988) transformed the visual character of America. Although they are best known for their furniture, the couple were also pioneers in architecture, textile design, photography, and cinema. The work of the Eames defined a new, multifunctional modernity, exemplary for its integration into art and design, as well as for the use of modern materials such as plywood and plastics. The Eames Lounge Chair Wood, designed with plywood technology, became a defining piece of 20th-century furniture, while the couple's contribution to the Case Study Houses project not only inventively used industrial materials but also developed an adaptable floor plan with multifunctional spaces, which would become a hallmark of post-war modern architecture. From their early experiments with furniture to their iconic short film Powers of Ten, this book covers all aspects of the Eames' captivating repertoire and their revolutionary impact on middle-class life in America.
