The husband/ wife team of Charles and Ray Eames are widely regarded as America's most important designers. Best remembered for their plywood and fiberglass furniture, the Eames Office also created a mind-bending variety of other products, from splints for wounded soldiers to photography, interiors, graphics, games, films and toys.
The relationship between Charles Eames and his wife Ray ignited a burst of design ingenuity whose impact on the world can still be felt over half a century later.But their personal lives and influence on significant events in American life- from the development of modernism, to the rise of the computer age- has been less widely understood. Narrated by James Franco, Eames: The Architect and the Painter is the first film since their death dedicated to these creative geniuses and their work.
We would like to thank Bread and Butter films, especially director, Jason Cohn for granting us the permission to share this incredible film with you!
