More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Kirkham's thorough discussion of the Eameses' lesser known contributions to design and film and the personal working dynamic between the two partners provides a well-rounded perspective of one of the great design partnerships of the 20th century."--Katherine Kai-sun Chia, "Architectural Record"
Product Description
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.

WONDERFUL CHARLES AND RAY EAMES DESIGN!, 27 Feb 2006
By Availar James "Availar James" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Charles and Ray Eames: Designers of the Twentieth Century (Paperback)
Charles and Ray Eames were not only creative artistic talents, they were also commercial geniuses (just like George Nelson was). These two talents provided the secret for success that would reward them throughout their life. This book gives in debt view about the vast creative inspiration that Charles and Ray Eames had. This is a wonderful coffee table book, a joy to browse through. If you like modern design I also suggest to visit the wonderful online archive about George Nelson at WWW.GEORGENELSON.ORG and also the museum archive from Verner Panton at WWW.VERNERPANTON.COM
