Charles and Ray Eames made chairs everyone knows. They also made films, toys, textiles, exhibits, graphics, and photographs. And they gave every one of them the same care.
Eames: Beautiful Details is the big book on how they worked. It is 408 pages, hardcover, in a slipcase. The essays and quotes come from the Eames family itself, including Charles and Ray, Lucia Eames, and grandson Eames Demetrios.
It is a book you open for the small stuff. The packaging. The labels. The studio. The way they looked at ordinary objects. Mid-century design is where RetroSupply started, so this one is close to home.
