The Furniture of Charles and Ray Eames

This book presents all of the Eames designs, grouped into categories based on materials such as plywood, plastic, wire and aluminum. Reproductions of vintage photographs and documents accompany explanatory texts that provide in‑depth information on the historical background and distinctive structural features of the furniture designs. Contemporary photographs illustrate the aesthetic quality of these objects. The book includes a dialogue about preservation of Charles and Ray Eames' legacy between Rolf Fehlbaum, the Chairman of Vitra, and Charles' grandson Eames Demetrios, the present director of the Eames Office.
