AIGA SANTA BARBARA PRESENTS

08.08.08

A Centennial Celebration of Charles and Ray Eames
AIGA Santa Barbara
Annual Summer Party

Charles and Ray Eames are among the most important American designers of this century. They are best known for their groundbreaking contributions to architecture, furniture design (e.g., the Eames Chair), industrial design and manufacturing, and the photographic arts.

In recognition of their groundbreaking contributions, designers Charles and Ray Eames are the subject of a pane of 16 stamps designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC. If you've ever sat in a stackable molded chair, you've experienced their creativity. Perhaps best known for their furniture, the Eameses were husband and wife as well as design partners. Their extraordinary body of creative work—which reflected the nation's youthful and inventive outlook after World War II—also included architecture, films and exhibits.Without abandoning tradition, Charles and Ray Eames used new materials and technology to create high-quality products that addressed everyday problems and made modern design available to the American public.

Thomas Moraitis, President of AIGA Santa Barbara, has collected Eames furniture, and memorbilia for the past 30 years. Also featured will be the Powers of 10, an Eames film and other surprises.
