EAMES!

The Solar Do-Nothing Machine


One of my professors happens to be a curator at the Museum of Decorative Arts here in Prague, and this afternoon she took us behind the scenes of the Eames exhibit that opens there tonight. 

Charles and Ray Eames pined by the bases of their furniture


It was amazing!  How wonderful to view a furniture exhibit with a furniture expert!

We also had the opportunity to hear a lecture given by the Eames' grandson who now works with the family business - 0f course I took the opportunity.  He spoke very candidly about life with his grandparents and their approach to design.  So inspiring to see images and here stories of these two creating together.

Their stuff is really one of a kind. The best place to find their stuff is without a doubt officedesigns.com; I swear shopping online is the only way to go these days. If you want a specific color and product, its the best place to find it. Plus because they ship for free it doesn't make any different then driving out to the furniture store--minus the waste in gas $$.
