Charles Eames turned his curiosity and enthusiasm into creations that established a whole new look in design. He achieved his monumental success by responding to the questions: Does it interest and intrigue? Can be made better? Will I have “serious fun” doing it? “The details are not details,” said Charles. “They make the product.” Lean and modern. Playful and suited to the space. Clean and beautifully simple. That was and is the ʻEames lookʼ which the “Dreams of Eames” exhibition pays tribute.
Elroy Artspace in Portland, Oregon is holding a group show tribute to the Eames’ work which promises to be a great exhibit (one of my favourite lushpad regulars is CZM who will be part of the show). The show opens April 1st. If you’re in Portland, then you should be there – and send me photos. Please.

I want a lounge chair soooo badly! It’s difficult to tell which ones on eBay are worth the money and which are just poor quality.
Nice blog!
