CHARLES & RAY EAMES
Pioneers of Mid-Century Modernism
"Eventually everything connects-people, ideas, objects etc., the quality of the connections is the key to quality per se." by Charles Eames
"...everything hangs on something else." by Ray Eames
EAMES by Gloria Koenig
Koenig`s comprehensive title covers all aspects of the husband-and-wife duo`s illustrious career, from the earliest furniture experiments and molded plywood designs to the Case Study Houses to their work for Herman Miller and classic films like Powers of Ten."
In the back of "EAMES" you'll find a time line of accomplishments for both Charles Ormond Eames and Ray Kaiser. I highly recommend this book by Gloria Koenig for points of reference as well as really fun reading.

I love, love, love mid-century furniture. My absolute favorite site to get stuff is officedesigns.com, best service and prices by far.
I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks Annabelle.
i recently had a blog about how happy i was to find stamps commemorating them. i revamped my blog and started fresh so the post is gone. great spot. i love their work.
Eames were fabulous designers. I read once that they died exactly a year apart from one another on the same day? I may be wrong... They did some awesome work together.
ha yes...you can tell in their photos when together they had a really special connection that is rare. Thank you so much for sharing.
