Charles and Ray Eames are among the most influential designers of the 20th century. The Eames Furniture Sourcebook provides a comprehensive overview of their furniture designs, including milestones in design history such as their plywood furniture, wire or plastic chairs, the Aluminum Group, and the legendary Lounge Chair. With detailed texts and extensive imagery, the book reconstructs the history of the designer couple's furniture, explains the Eames' innovative approach to materials and techniques, and analyzes the significance of their work in the context of their time. The foundation for the book is the Eames collection at the Vitra Design Museum, which is the largest collection of Eames furniture in the world. It includes a significant portion of the prototypes, experiments, and study models from the Eames Office, as well as many other key works by the two designers.
