With a fun-loving approach, I started a strong and actually reliable friendship with their products. I find “The Wire Chair” one of the most spectacular products. Made entirely of chrome-pleated steel wire, it is a tribute to lightness and transparency. Its rounded and soft forms contradict the linear and cold, graphic design of the metal mesh. Actually, it is somehow a synthesis for the entire Eames philosophy, based on a mix between such cultural opposites: engineering and art, hard and soft, shiny and dull, technology and everyday life.

For me, Charles and Ray Eames stand for complementary paths that lead to whole, round, perfect results. Some of them, you can admire at the retrospective exhibition “Eames by Vitra”, between 27th of September – 14th of October, at the Ark (#150, Uranus Street). Enjoy!

“Eames” este unul dintre cuvintele dupa care imi place sa dau cautare pe Google, la imagini. Ma introduce brusc intr-un univers foarte luminos, curat, creativ de la care poti imagina cu usurinta un stil de viata foarte optimist. De altfel, Charles si Ray Eames sunt pionieri ai acelui relaxat “American way of life” specific anilor ’50 si, din pacate, pierdut astazi in multe module din societatea americana. Dincolo de astfel de fluctuatii sociale, cei doi au dat designului modern piese clasice reperate usor in timeline-ul creativ dintre anii 1941 si 1978. Au desenat peste 20 de modele de scaune, cele mai multe piese unicat si au dezvoltat “know-how-ul” in arta lui “a te aseza”, la modul propriu. Dovada sunt The Plywood Chairs LCW si DCW (1946), Aluminum Group (1958) si Lounge Chair (1956) – piese de referinta in designul contemporan.

M-am bucurat cand am gasit cartea “Eames” a lui Brigitte Fitoussi, care este o consemnare in print a acelui univers optimist specific lor. Cartea o gasiti la editura “Assouline”, iar scaunele Eames le gasiti la IntroDesign.
