The Story of Eames Furniture: Marilyn Neuhart with John Neuhart - Interview from Gestalten on Vimeo.

If you're going to read about the history of furniture, it may as well be an account on Charles and Ray Eames. This design duo between them produced not only some, but a good majority of the most famous design furniture pieces in the world. Their pieces are so popular in fact, it's continually disappointing to see them replicated badly at every turn. The book, brimming with images and insightful text, is a benchmark reference on what is arguably the most influential and important furniture of our time. Released last year by publisher Gelstalten, the book outlines many of the processes the duo went through in order to achieve perfect production. You can watch an interview with the author above and order the book here.

Authentic Eames furniture can be found locally at Matisse.
