Summary:

Charles and Ray Eames are among the most influential designers of the 20th century. Enthusiastic and tireless experimenters, this beloved husband-and-wife duo moved fluidly between the fields of photography, film, architecture, exhibition-making, and furniture and product design. The Eames Office was a hub of activity where the Eameses and their collaborators produced an array of pioneering designs, communicating their ideas with a boundless creativity that defined their careers. The Eameses embraced the joy of trial and error and approached design as a way of life. From personal letters, photographs, drawings, and artwork, to their products, models, multimedia installations, and furniture, 'Essential Eames' includes not only some of the designs for which they are best known, but provides an insight into the lives of the Eameses, the Eames Office, and the breadth of their pioneering work, bringing their ideas and playful spirit to life.
