If you aren’t already aware of TED Talks, you’re in for a real treat and probably more time in front of the computer than you planned for. TED talks are inspiring, engaging and humorous talks about Technology, Entertainment and Design. The one above in particular caught our eye recently because it was given by Eames Demetrios, the grandson of Charles Eames, and was about the man himself.
“The legendary design team Charles and Ray Eames made films, houses and classic midcentury modern furniture. Eames Demetrios, their grandson, shows rarely seen films and archival footage in a lively, loving tribute to their creative process.”
Apart from being Charles Eames’ grandson, Eames Demetrios is a creator and designer in his own right. His current project is Kymaerica and the Kcymaerxthaere, an alternate history of the world. His web site is completely fascinating, and I’m looking forward to learning more about his work.
