Taschen Book Eames

Charles and Ray Eames are two of the most recognisable names in design and helped establish America's visual and design identity. Perhaps their most famous piece, the Eames Lounge Chair Wood, is an example of their use of modern materials, such as moulded plywood, to create a chair that combines functionality with cool, crisp modernity. This combination was at the very heart of their design practice and impacted heavily on middle-class American homes. Featured in this book are examples of the Eames' work from furniture design to architecture, textile design, photography and film.
