the legendary design team charles and ray eames made films, houses and classic
midcentury modern furniture. eames demetrios, their grandson, recently showed rarely
seen films and archival footage in a lively, loving tribute to their creative process.

eames spends his time ensuring that the eames designs are done right communicating
and preserving the eames work. the design process itself is a passion of his and he has
given many lectures around the world including TED talks which focus on bringing
together people from technology, entertainment and design.



on our recent trip to LA designboom had the chance to visit the famous pacific palisades
residence of charles and ray eames.
