Eames Designs: First Music Video
Photographs by film producer Daniel Ostroff, video edited by Grant Taylor. Grant Taylor is a gifted artist and I salute his generous spirit. Please see suncloudproductions.com/ I'm Daniel Ostroff, editor of the new Eames Office website eamesdesigns.com, and I worked closely with Grant Taylor to capture the first 6,000 images for this new design scholarship resource. These photos are some of the documentation of the first four years of our work together. Charles and Ray Eames felt that photography is an aid to understanding, and I feel that you can't go wrong following their lead. I dedicate this video to Byron Atwood, Lucia Dewey Atwood, Eames Demetrios, Llisa Demetrios, and Carla Hartman, the Eames grandchildren, for all they do for design scholarship, and to my dear friend, GRANT TAYLOR (who you see in many of the photos...)

    Beautiful pieces. My grandmother had an origional eames lounge chair growing up it always felt newer than any other piece of furnature in the house even though everything was from the 60's, I have that chair now and cherish it.

    I actually prefer the expression of the metal disks or extended plate on the outside face of the rubber shock mount. Hiding the metal inside the shock mount does nothing for me.

      Well I guess they intended it to be low cost, but manufacturing it was probably not as easy as they thought (with it being the first Eames' molded plastic chair). But Vitra's asking price of 8000$ always seemed not justifiable to me.

    The official Eames Office website explains that the aluminum knob was first added to the DAT-1 chair in 1960. The aluminum base was added in 1958, though. I recently acquired a DAT-1 that is stamped 1959, and it has an aluminum base with a steel knob. www.eamesoffice.com/blog/the-finish-of-the-castings/

    Hi, thanks for your feedback. For 20 years Charles and Ray Eames were consultants to IBM, they were brought in by Eliot Noyes, IBM Director of Design. This is one of many projects that resulted from that relationship and the relationship between IBM and the Eames Office continues to this day. In 1960 Charles and Ray created an exhibition for a Los Angeles museum, MATHEMATICS: THE WORLD OF NUMBERS AND BEYOND. In 2011, material from this was turned into a free iPad App by IBM & Eames Office

    That poor sofa survived all these years only to be mishandled on cam by captain flippy. Pro tip: never lean the compact on its folding side. I own four of these and they are great sofas. I sleep comfortably on them quite often. The oldest has no middle brace and a round Herman Milller badge - the other three are more recent and each has the middle brace. Does anyone know when this started and why? Paid $800 on average. All are from eBay. Unfortunately, they cost about $1k to reupholster, so
