Holiday giving, Eames style

“The motivation behind most of the things we’ve done was either that we wanted them or we wanted to give them to someone else.” Featured image is a Christmas card by Charles and Ray Eames, 1946. Reproduced from Vitra’s wonderful new release, Essential Eames: Words & Pictures, the image is constructed of: 1) a background photograph of birds at the beach; 2) a foreground photograph of Charles and Ray Eames; 3) a final photograph of the foreground image reflected in the glass ball with bird background.
