Visual impact: Nothing says modernist perfection like an Eames design The creative duo Charles Eames (1907–1978) and Ray Kaiser Eames (1912–1988) transformed the visual character of America. Though best known for their furniture, the husband and wife team were also forerunners inarchitecture, textile design, photography, and film.The Eames’ work defined a new, multifunctional modernity, exemplary for its integration of craft and design, as well as for the use of modern materials, notably plywood and plastics.

Perfect gift for Interior Decorators Nalani Great little book (well, not really little in size but it's thin) that details the history of the Eames couple. While I bought it as a gift, I had a chance to peruse it with the giftee and we both enjoyed the history of the iconic Eames chairs. I never knew that they were designed to be cheap chairs for the masses! And yet now go for thousands because of their timeless design. This is a great reference to have in your library if you are at all interested in interior design, art a. Eames--a History It is an excellent history of the Eames couple and the photos are outstanding. Anyone interested in "modern" furniture/design should read/own this volume as it tells the story so well about the post WWII revolution in interior design.. Pretty book about pretty objects! Pretty book, I leave it on the coffee table next to my Eames chair. It is somewhat humorous that in 2005, the chair was sold by Herman-Miller for $3000 (per the book) but is now $6000 and up!
