The Story of Eames Furniture

A video from Gestalten TV discussing one of these most amazing furniture designers to date. "If it isn't functional, it isn't beautiful." - Charles Eames
 
 

"Gestalten.tv is proud to present an exclusive video interview with Marilyn Neuhart, author of The Story of Eames Furniture, and her husband John. Both have worked with the Eames Office in various capacities from the 1950s. Having been in close proximity to Charles and Ray Eames as well as the members of the Eames Office and their patron manufacturers for almost 30 years, the Neuharts had the extraordinary opportunity to absorb their stories. At their Los Angeles home, they tell the tale of working with Charles Eames in Gestalten.tv's latest look behind the Eames.

"A design geek's dream."
Alice Rawsthorn, The International Herald Tribune

"We ought to be grateful that instead of the hagiography we might expect of such a sumptuous book, it presents the warts-and-all view from inside the studio – at times, it's as though we're eavesdropping on the staff at the watercooler.”
Justin McGuirk, The Guardian

"This book has been put together with almost the same attention to detail as a piece of Eames furniture!"
Jasper Morrison
