The World of Charles and Ray Eames was conceived as a multifaceted excursion through their lives as designers, filmmakers, inventors and collectors. By echoing typical activities within the Eames office, the exhibition provided insights to the way in which multiple perspectives influenced not only the visual aspect of the Eames’ designs, but also their thought process behind the scenes.
The physical components of the installations underscore the Eamesian value of constraint by the creation of a single, straightforward system of frames and infill panels that were assembled to present each aspect of the designers’ legacy reconfigured to suit the exhibition venue. The kit-of-parts supplemented complementary elements designed to adapt to the specific dimensions of each space. Our interest was to communicate the radical nature of the Eames’ method, in hopes that it would spur contemporary designers to think beyond conventional solutions.
