Eames Furniture Sourcebook is Vitra-level superb

Charles and Ray Eames are probably the most famous and influential design couple of the twentieth century. From the very beginning, they adopted a holistic approach that could be applied to virtually any design challenge—whether in furniture, film, exhibition design, architecture, graphic design, textiles, photography or multi-media. This 1958 Julius Shulman photograph of the couple in their Eames House living room gives a sense of the all-encompassing optimism and spirit of play that defined their aesthetic. It is reproduced from Eames Furniture Sourcebook, the Vitra Design Museum’s authoritative new 336-page survey. Not only is the content of this book definitive, but the production is Vitra-level superb.
