Happy Holidays from Artbook | D.A.P.!

After the formidable, seemingly never-ending year we've almost—finally!!—seen to its bitter end, we're taking pure, unadulterated inspiration from this simple 1945 photograph of Charles and Ray Eames lighting candles on a Christmas tree they'd just made from molded plywood chair legs. It is reproduced from Essential Eames: Words and Pictures, published by Vitra Design Museum. This is a book that reminds us to love, to play and to create. Charles and Ray Eames were, above all, irrepressible problem solvers. Great models for 2021.
