Eames Tubed
Charles and Ray Eames have been popping up as a regular blog topic lately, and their film works and films related to them have been appearing on Youtube. Beyond anything, the couple's work amazes me for its broad diversity. To make a video as important to education as Powers of Ten, design houses and workspaces as great as their own, and also create modern furniture that reinvented the very concept of the chair and is still considered some of the highest in contemporary luxury--well, I think its safe to say most designers will be satisfied fulfilling any of those roles in their lifetime. So, for your entertainment, I've managed to gather as many of these short videos as I've been able to find. If you want to find more of their films I recommend checking out The Films of Charles and Ray Eames (also available on Netfix).
