The Definitive History of the Eames Studio, and Its Works of Genius [Slideshow] Even if you've got a passion for modern design, it can be hard to see anything new in the works of Charles and Ray Eames.

Endlessly imitated, knocked off, resold, and referenced, their genius hides in plain sight, thanks to its ubiquity. It takes a pretty mammoth amount of work to bring a fresh perspective to something so familiar. And that's precisely what you can find in The Story of Eames Furniture, which might be the definitive history of the Eames studio, and all of its brilliant designs. Marilyn Neuhart and her collaborator John Neuhart spent over 15 years compiling the material in the two-volume set, and the hard work shows: The 800 pages are graced with over 2,500 images, so you'd be hard pressed to find such rich visual documentation of the Eames's work anywhere else. But more than that, the book also details the minutiae of process and circumstance that yielded each and every creation in the Eames oeuvre. [You can buy the books at Amazon, for $125]

The Eames Studio's Inspiring History And Unknown Dark Side. "Was he an architect?

A designer? A filmmaker? " asks one of the interviewees in the new documentary Eames: The Architect and the Painter. Charles Eames was all and none of those things at once-- and the same could be said for his wife and collaborator Ray (described in the film as "a painter who rarely painted"). What they were, as that interviewee concludes, was "something we all wanted to be. " The Googles and Apples of their day flocked to hire them, too: Boeing, IBM, Polaroid. The film, directed by Jason Cohn and Bill Jersey, covers all of the Eameses’ greatest hits with aplomb. But The Architect and the Painter is hardly a hagiography, and Cohn and Jersey’s willingness to probe the Eameses’ (especially Charles’s) less-than-saintly habits gives the film an unexpected edge. All the same, one can’t watch this film without feeling inspired by the apparently limitless creativity that the Eames Office injected into postwar American culture.
