Eames: The Architect and The Painter

Dynamic modern design duo, husband and wife, Charles and Ray Eames, will be further showcased in a new documentary, "Eames: The Architect and The Painter". The film will explore the personal and professional life of the designers that are considered one of the most influential forces in American mid century modern design. Amongst the most iconic furniture designs are the mid-century plywood and fiberglass furniture. Together they formed the Eames Office, and created numerous other products, games, toys, films and photography. In the trailer Ray is described as a painter who rarely painted and Charles an architect student who dropped out and never got his license. The documentary hints to showing that their multi-faceted career and talents leave them undefinable as merely a designer, in the same way that it is strange to label them as architect and painter. They are an entire cultural movement that resulted in mid century modern design that can still be appreciated today. Or at least we still do at Deja Vu!

Check out the trailer and then go to a screening!
