Basic Art Series: Eames

TASCHEN has been carrying the Basic Art Series since 1985 with a passion for art and architecture. The Eames couple revolutionized American middle-class architecture with multifunctional spaces. Charles Eames and Ray Kaiser Eames are particularly adept at combining craftsmanship and design, using modern materials such as plywood and plastic. It is this aspect in particular that makes their furniture designs so accessible to the middle class. This book covers not only their architectural works, but also photography, furniture design, industrial design and film.
