Eames Designs: The Guest-Host Relationship
‘The role of the designer,’ said Charles Eames, ‘is that of a very good, thoughtful host, all of whose energy goes into trying to anticipate the needs of his guests.’ Examining the work of Charles and Ray Eames from this perspective, Eames Designs: The Guest-Host Relationship will be an unparalleled exploration of the connection between the designers’ classic work, process and philosophy.
