How Charles and Ray Eames Brought Modern Design to Every Area of Their Lives
If you think of famed designer couple Charles and Ray Eames as “chair people,” you’re technically right, but miss out on all the other innovations they’ve created over the course of their lives.
With a background in architecture and art, the couple have invented new ways of working with wood (and created materials for the army before making their iconic chairs), created groundbreaking immersive films, and built a forerunner for the modern living / workspace.
The video above talks about how Charles and Ray lived by design, always prioritizing function and problem solving over embellishments. (And yes, also how they made the chairs.)
We would like to express special thanks to the Eames Office for helping us obtain archived material for this video.
