As promised in last week's post, we have some great images from the EAMES WORDS exhibit at the Architecture and Design museum in Los Angeles. 'EAMES WORDS: Eames Designs: The Guest Host Relationship', refers to the famous quotation of Charles Eames about a fundamental design philosophy, one where 'the role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host, whose energy goes into trying to anticipate the needs of his guests.'
The resulting curated assemblage of objects, images and quotations convey a high regard for simple, everyday objects and highlight the influence these items had on their work, projects, and innovative spirit- a true celebration of the 'uncommon beauty of common things'.
Words juxtaposed alongside the humble objects that Charles and Ray found so inspiring reinforces an approach to design as a way of life and broad view of the world...
