This week, we watched a historical movie about the Eameses. Charles and Ray Eames were a husband and wife team whose unique synergy led to a whole new look in furniture design industry. Throughout their works, I can feel they loved their work, which was a combination of modern art and science, design and architecture, process and product, style and function. That was and is the "Eames look."
I really appreciate their working style. They cooperated well, and most important is that they needed each other. Charles did great design in every pieces of furniture, Ray could turn his works into art. He made sure their chairs function well, she made them looks good and modern. They cannot succeed if without each other( this is from my opinion). Therefore, they were lucky couple and perfect working partner. Moreover, they made important influence in art, design, furniture industry.
They said " design is the appropriate combination of materials in order to solve a problem". I learn from them is that design is not only for making things look better, designers actually are problems solver. Therefore, good design not only improve products appearance, more important is giving people better life.
