Charles and Ray Eames were the golden couple of postwar American design. True multimedia pioneers, they worked in furniture design, architecture, print, photography and filmmaking. They imbued the modern twentieth-century aesthetic with originality, colour and freshness, and their ability to mould plastics and plywood with an elegance not previously seen resulted in some of the most influential furniture design of the modern age – witnessed not just in the continuing popularity of their original designs but also in the mass prodcution of countless imitations.

The resulting texts not only provide a clear understanding of the Eames design ethos but also give us unique insight into their personalities. Their texts are illustrated with original photographs and drawings, many of which have never been published before. A landmark publication on two of the greatest designers of the twentieth century, Eames on Designis an essential design manifesto that is both inspiring and insightful. Charles(1907-1978) and Ray(1912-1988) Eamesmet in Sacramento in 1941, and moved to Los Angeles shortly after, where they built the Eames House, a milestone of modern architecture, that was erected in a matter of days from prefabricated steel parts. Formidably prolific and inventive, the Eameses made numerous technological innovations such as molded plywood and plastic resin chairs. In 1950 they began making educational and conceptually-driven films, designed exhibitions, and spawned several generations of designers from their L.A. studio. Charles was also very active as a photographer, and Ray as a textiles designer.

Book Synopsis The Eames Lounge Chair by : Martin P. Eidelberg
Download or read book The Eames Lounge Chair written by Martin P. Eidelberg and published by Merrell. This book was released on 2006 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the first in-depth study of one of the most revered pieces of American furniture, and its equally revered creators. The Eames Lounge Chair explores the design in detail, shedding new light on its development and construction, and on the role played by Ray Eames in its genesis. In situating the Lounge Chair in its cultural, social, and historical contexts, the book reveals its provocative positioning in relation to Modernism and the trajectory of twentieth century design, through its combination of traditional and modern materials, mechanical production, and hand-finishing. The personal and professional recollections of those who knew Charles and Ray Eames confirm the Lounge Chair's enduring appeal and powerful presence, from its arrival - to critical acclaim - in the mid-1950s, when it promised a more comfortable life to postwar Americans, to its latterday appearance in fiction and film as an icon of "Mid-Century Modern" design - and a key indicator of design awareness." "With more than two hundred illustrations, including a superb photographic essay and previously unpublished drawings, film stills, and personal correspondence, this book is the definitive survey of the Lounge Chair and a tribute to its remarkable creators, who, above all, "took their pleasures seriously." The Eames Lounge Chair is essential reading for anyone interested in Modernist design."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis George Nelson by : Stanley Abercrombie

Book excerpt: George Nelson (1908-1986), a pioneering modernist, ranks with Raymond Loewy, Charles Eames, and Eliot Noyes as one of America's outstanding designers.

Book Synopsis Of Greater Dignity than Riches by : Farhan Karim
Download or read book Of Greater Dignity than Riches written by Farhan Karim and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme poverty, which intensified in India during colonial rule, peaked in the 1920s—after decades of imperialist exploitation, famine, and disease—a time when architects, engineers, and city authorities proposed a new type of housing for India’s urban poor and industrial workers. As Farhan Karim argues, economic scarcity became a central inspiration for architectural modernism in the subcontinent. As India moved from colonial rule to independence, the Indian government, business entities, international NGOs, and intergovernmental agencies took major initiatives to modernize housing conditions and the domestic environment of the state’s low-income population. Of Greater Dignity than Riches traces multiple international origins of austerity as an essential ingredient of postcolonial development. By prescribing model villages, communities, and ideal houses for the working class, this project of austerity eventually reduced poverty into a stylized architectural representation. In this rich and original study, Karim explains the postwar and postcolonial history of low-cost housing as an intertwined process of global transferences of knowledge, Cold War cultural politics, postcolonial nationalism, and the politics of economic development.
