Charles & Ray Eames: The Architect and the Painter
From 1941 to 1978, this husband-and-wife team brought unique talents to their partnership. He was an architect by training, she was a painter and sculptor. Together they are considered America’s most important and influential designers, whose work helped, literally, shape the second half of the 20th century and remains culturally vital and commercially popular today. They are, perhaps, best remembered for their mid-century modern furniture, built from novel materials like molded plywood, fiberglass-reinforced plastic, bent metal wire and aluminum – offering consumers beautiful, functional, yet inexpensive products.
An inspiring documentary on the life and work of Ray and Charles Eames.
the history of personal computing
The problem with just about every prediction made by industry firms like Forrester (all the way back to 1985 when these firms said that the Commodore 64 was going to change the world—until the VCR interrupted to become the next big thing) is that they are based on sophisticated analysis of what’s in the rear-view mirror. The trends are legit, but we have no idea what unexpected breakthrough in human interaction is going to change everything.
