Exhibition at Barbican Centre,London
Charles and Ray Eames are at the same time a couple and two brilliant designers.The newest exhibition at the Barbican confirms that.
- From 21 October 2015 to 14 February 2016 Barbican Centre presents the world of Charles and Ray Eames through objects and projects produced during their lifetime: film, photography, graphic design, multi-channel slideshows, sculpture, furniture, products, drawings, painting, etc.
- The happy couple could design chairs, textiles, magazine covers, buildings, multi-screen video installations, exhibitions and medical aids.
- These two undogmatic and practical people, have done things and combined elements that no one thought was possible before and for that they occupy a very important position among designers.
- Maybe everyone knows their chairs.These are creations in aluminium, fibreglass, leather, wood and steel serving multiple purposes and taking different forms like executive swivel chairs, armchairs, even furniture that looks like modernist sculpture.
"It felt like it was time to reconsider their work," Ince told Dezeen. "Lots of people are still very familiar with the furniture only."
- I think that the main point of this exhibition is to make people see not just the designers, but the artists as well.
- These two people are always full of joy and happiness and it’s almost impossible not to feel the same too when you see their work and it’s really a pleasure to look at them.
- So if you are somewhere nearby the exhibition, you should go and take a look.They even have fans of their work like rapper Ice Cube.
