Born on June 17th, 1907, Charles Eames was a design world tour de force. Working with his wife, Ray, he was a champion of systems design before such a thing even had a name, and together the pair worked across media, shooting films, manufacturing furniture, designing houses, training clowns. You know. The usual.

查尔斯·伊姆斯于1907年6月17日出生，是设计界一股不可忽视的强大力量。他与妻子雷合作，在”系统设计”这一概念尚未得名之前便已成为其先驱倡导者。两人乐于跨越媒介边界，拍摄电影、生产家具、设计住宅、训练小丑——诸如此类，不一而足。2007年，伊姆斯的外孙带我们走马观花地领略了他们部分成就，展示了若干原型作品与尝试之作。埃姆斯·德米特里奥斯措辞坚定地指出，那些不是错误，而是”为了让事情更好运转而做出的各种尝试”。尽管他也不无自嘲地承认：”其中有些椅子大概糟糕透顶。”
“你在设计风格上走得越远，就说明你离解决设计问题越远。”——查尔斯·伊姆斯
