Charles and Ray Eames and the technology of timelessness

Long before Steve Jobs and Jony Ives bridged the divide between design and technology, before Target began selling Michael Graves tea kettles, Charles and Ray Eames made the connection between design, public perception and function. They created designs for furniture, architecture, toys and film and in so doing set the stage for much of the way we view our world today.

They were visionaries, who were deeply grounded in the history, who understood that modern was also rooted in the classic.

Daniel Ostroff is a world authority on Charles and Ray Eames. His latest and perhaps seminal work is just out entitled An Eames Anthology: Articles, Film Scripts, Interviews, Letters, Notes, and Speeches.

My conversation with Dan Ostroff:

Look Both Ways - The Intersection of Life and Design

Branding, design, style, new technologies and social media.  We tend to look at all of them in isolation.  Little do we realize sometimes that their is a very personal narrative that connects the things we buy, admire, use and connect with.  Each of us is a part of a story with hundreds of tellers that represents the story of our lives. Debbie Millman, a leader in the design and branding community, brings all of this together in her new work Look Both Ways: Illustrated Essays on the Intersection of Life and Design.
