Notes from the archive: This catalogue from the exhibition of the same name was produced by the two institutions with the largest collections of Charles and Ray Eames work in the world. The depth of available information and material makes this an appropriate tribute to America's best known designers. The Eameses' belief that design could improve peoples lives connects their many achievements in design, architecture, film, textiles, and exhibition design.
