For the 1969 “What Is Design?” exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Charles Eames drew a diagram to represent the design process in terms of interested parties—the client, the designer, and society as a whole. Llisa Demetrios, Chief Curator of Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity and granddaughter of Charles and Ray Eames, explains how their focus was always on the areas of overlapping interests. Eames Institute is a nonprofit dedicated to advancing the work of Charles and Ray Eames and responsible for stewarding the Eames Archives in Richmond, California, containing thousands of artifacts from the Eames collection, Eames Office archives, and elsewhere. © Eames Office | All rights reserved.
