There is a great new show at the Barbican Art Gallery: The World of Charles and Ray Eames opened this week, and runs until 14 February. It is curated by Catherine Ince (@InceCatherine) in collaboration with the still extant Office Charles and Ray Eames (@eamesoffice), which kindly allowed me to use a wonderful Eames’ sketch (‘The area of appropriate practice [for design]’) in my ‘What is Web Design?’ book. The Eames were some of the greatest designers of the Twentieth Century – coming to the fore at the height of America’s ambition and power – for their experimentation with materials and processes, breadth of work (from furniture design to film), thinking about design, and general humanism. #worldofeames [Also posted to Facebook]
