Charles and Ray Eames were not only pioneers in furniture design, but they were also known for their interdisciplinary approach to design. They were architects, filmmakers, and graphic designers, and their work in these fields influenced their furniture designs.

This publication explores how their diverse interests and skills informed their design philosophy and how they brought a fresh perspective to furniture design. We also examine their use of new materials and technologies, such as molded plywood and fiberglass, and how they pushed the boundaries of what was possible in furniture design. Through their work, the Eameses transformed the way we think about furniture and design, and this book is a celebration of their extraordinary legacy.
