Compact and highly accessible, An Eames Primer is the definitive introduction to the lives and work of Charles and Ray Eames and is the first book to capture the philosophy and spirit behind the work of two of the twentieth century’s most influential designers

Those who know only one or two aspects of the Eameses’ work are often surprised to learn just how widely their range extended. Yet throughout their works, from architecture and furniture to exhibition design and film making, their core philosophy prevails.

Eames Demetrios explores the rich energy of the Eameses’ world from a unique perspective, informed by his close relationship with them. He shares personal anecdotes, previously unpublished photos and his own extensive interviews with their former friends and colleagues to make essential connections between the Eames' philosophy and work.
