At first, they focused their efforts on plywood, exploring the limits of its capacity to be molded into complex shapes. By the late 1940s, they had started experimenting with the increasingly popular material of plastic, creating the fiberglass chairs that became part of homes and public spaces. Over the years, pieces that are now considered to be iconic were created such as the Eames Lounge Chair, the Aluminium Group and the series of Wire Chairs and bases. The couple paid an extraordinary amount of time to every detail of their designs from start to finish.“Charles & Ray Eames. The Power of Design” runs through February 25, 2018, at Vitra Design Museum, Charles-Eames-Straße 2, 79576 Weil am Rhein, Germany.For details, visit: http://www.blouinartinfo.com/galleryguide-venues/757373/slideshow-videosClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
