Overview

The American design partnership of Charles and Ray Eames created some of the pioneering 20th-century work in furniture, film, architecture and exhibition design. This book interprets their work, probing the lives behind the designs and the nature of the collaboration. Using the Eames archives and with co-operation from their clients and associates, the book presents a detailed study of the designers and their work from 1941 to 1978, including a re-evaluation of Ray's role, recounts their early careers and examines their multimedia presentations, exhibitions and films.
