CASE STUDY #8: EAMES HOUSE | RAY and CHARLES EAMES | Pacific Palisades, California | 1949 CASE STUDY #8: EAMES HOUSE | RAY AND CHARLES EAMES | Pacific Palisades, California | 1949 melanie olivera design: Exterior Eames House is considered one of the most important post-war residences in the world. The Eames House was constructed using a simple steel frame for the structure. The house exemplifies the use prefabricated materials. The Truscon steel frame used 4-inch H-columns for the walls and 12-inch deep web joists for the roof. The curtain walls used glass with a standard width of 3’ - 4”. The west side of the of the building has an 8’ x 200’ concrete retaining wall that connects the two boxes together. The facades all consist of steel frames or black painted grids that consist of eight 7.5’ bays in for the House and five 7.5’ bays for the Studio. The steel roof joists and steel framing was economical and added to the appearance of the lightweight structure. They added industrial elements to the exteriors and interiors by using materials from military aircraft, such as the use of Plyon in some of the cabinets and windows. Plyon was marketed as fuel-cell liners by Swedlow Plastics. The material was thin, lightweight, translucent, and durable. color + texture + light The colored panels on the outside resemble a Mondrian painting. The different solid and transparent panels were arranged so that it could affect the light that goes into the interiors, providing shade in certain areas and allowing soft natural light to flow into the building in other areas. There are different types of glass used for the building, which is clear, translucent, and wired. The grey panels are both painted or natural and madeof cemestos. The colored panels (which are off-white, blue, red, and black) are made of stucco. The other panels are made of aluminum and specially-treated gold-leafed/ photographic panels. design: interior The interior of the Eames house consists of large, open, double height spaces in the public areas, and dropped ceilings in the more private areas, like in the kitchen or reading area. The double height spaces are located on either end of the house. Although there are public and private areas, it is not strictly divided through walls but implied through ceiling heights. The house was set up on a grid system and the circulation through the spaces are continuous and linear from one building to the next. The large curtain walls allows natural light to come into There is a floating spiral staircase at the entrance of the the building and frames the beautiful views of the outside. main house that connects to the upper level. They usedd There is a play of light and shadow with the aforementioned parts from a marine catalog to create the stairway.

For example, the upper level could be prefabricated materials can be perceived as 'cold', the use opened up to overlook the public living area. The high of natural materials and neutral warm-toned colors inside ceiling was left exposed, (steel decking perpendicular to contrast the exterior materials, giving it a pleasant, natural frame),flowing from the outside (overhang) to the inside warmth to make it feel like home. of the structure. furniture The Eames’ used plywood and plastic materials for the development of their furniture. According to the lecture, although plywood furniture began in 1930s, new techniques such as molding, bending, and gluing plywood, were exploited in furniture design, like furniture by Eames and Saarinen. Charles and Ray Eames created what people call the ‘Eames look’ which is a modern, simple, playful, functional, and sleek look in their furniture. All the furniture pieces are intended to be functional and give maximum comfort in a modern way. They also used other materials, such as leather, upholstery, wire, fiberglass, and black laquer finishes. Charles and Ray Eames had a grand sense of adventure, with an eclectic collection of objects in their home from their extensive travels as well as gifts from friends and family. When conceptualizing the lounge chair, Charles explained that the designers wanted it to have the “warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt” with handcrafted details to give it a grounded, welcoming escape from modern styles. Around 1950, the "Eames Storage Unit," a modular system of shelving with bright colored panels, sliding, and pull down doors in fiberglass and with their signature dimpled wood front, was also released. SOCIETY + CULTURE According to Archdaily, Charles and Ray Eames began designing the house in 1945 for the Case Study House Program, , founded by John Entenza, in Los Angeles. “Arts and Architecture Magazine” published and built these case study homes with the focus being on the use of new materials and technologies developed during World War II. The magazine published the original design of the house as well as the new design. The intention was for the house to be made of prefabricated materials that would not interrupt the site, be easy to build, and exhibit a modern style. Charles described the house as "unselfconscious, a sense Eames collaborated with the company Herman Miller. This of that “way-it-should-be-ness”, meeting the needs of collaboration included their furniture designs as well as the users. The home quickly became a ‘landmark of the their advertising and showroom design. Herman Miller mid-20th century modern architecture’. Because of the still sells their products to this day. Eames believed that theatrical quality of the building, it was often used as a set 'affordable, mass produced, well-designed furniture were for fashion shoots by magazines such as Life and Vogue. essential for social change and betterment'. They also The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman debuted on national believed that what works looks better than what looks television in 1956. Charles and Ray Eames appeared on good, which became a defining quality for the American the NBC television network Home show hosted by Arlene style. Francis, which increased the popularity of the designs. HUMAN BEHAVIOR As previously mentioned, The Eames House was a residential home, consisting of two “boxes” separated by a central, open courtyard. One of them is intended for residential living while the other is a work studio. They both feature double height spaces, with second levels that could be opened to overlook the public area below. Charles and Ray designed a house to ‘specifically meet universal needs that we all share as humans’. Those needs reflected those of Eames’ household and work needs. The home was intended for a young married couple wanting a place to live, work, and entertain and who no longer have kids living with them, but eventually, Charles and Rey Eames moved in and lived there for the rest of their lives. The circulation throughout the entire home is continuous between the two buildings. The courtyard serves as a way to merge the two ‘boxes’ together and creates a quiet outdoor space to read and garden. technological The Case House Study Program focused on new materials and technologies, so Charles and Ray Eames wanted to maximize volume with minimal materials. The entire structure was created from prefabricated materials, allowing quick construction. The ceiling heights for the double height spaces are 17 ft high. The steel frames allow these heights to increase (in elevation) due to its durability and strength. The Eames avoided using traditional materials like bricks and wood for their Eames House and used glass and steel for the construction using innovative techniques to create a new understanding of how people can live and display the results of using new techniques in design. As mentioned before, molding, bending, and gluing plywood was a new technique that was being developed at the time. Eames' utilized this concept for their furniture. In the early 1940s the Eames worked for the Navy wartime effort and received the chance to experiment with new methods of bending plywood. POLITICAL Eames House was a part of The Case Study House Program, which was a response to the evident incoming influx of post war housing demand due to the advent of the middle class. Instead of continuing with competitions, Entenza decided on a more concentrated program of constructing houses to provide opportunities for talented architects to imagine, design and construct the ideal home for a postwar middle class American family. The use of the joists for the roof support resulted in economic savings, which was an important aspect considering the emergence of the American middle class at the time as well as the Case Study House Program. Eames had originally designed a house called the Bridge House, which was published in one of the Art+Architecture magazines. Post War World 2 made use of the industrial age and mass production; however, there was a shortage on materials due to the war. Because of this, the home had to be easy to replicate, affordable, and functional. They found a practical way to incorporate material originally used for war planes for their post-war housing (like Plyon for panels, cabinets, etc.). The steel beams they ordered had been delayed due to the shortage, which gave Eames time to design an entire new house, which became the Eames House. They ended up using the steel beams from the old design for their new design ECOLOGY Eames House is meant to be deeply integrated with nature. Ray Eames claimed that they fell in love with the meadows while having a casual picnic. This led them to scrap their original idea for the home (The Bridge House), and design an entire new home that does not impose the structure on it and destroy the land but rather seemlessly integrates the home within it.

Authenticity, joy and playfulness are hallmarks of the Vitra Accessories Collection. For the autumn / winter collection of 2017 Vitra will expand its accessories portfolio with design objects by Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard and George Nelson. Charles & Ray Eames Charles and Ray Eames are among the most influential designers of the twentieth century. Working with tireless enthusiasm, the pair explored the fields of photography, film, architecture, exhibitions, and furniture and product design, making landmark contributions in each domain. Plywood Elephant & Eames Elephant (small), 1945 In the 1940s, Charles and Ray Eames spent several years developing and refining a technique for the three-dimensional moulding of plywood, creating a series of furniture items and sculptures in the process. Among these initial designs, the two-part elephant proved to be the most technically challenging due to its tight compound curves, and the piece never went into serial production. A prototype was given to Charles's 14-year-old daughter Lucia Eames and later borrowed for the exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946. It still survives in the Eames family archives today.

  • After Seven Decades Strong, Good Design Continues Its Iconic History Awarding the Best and Most Recognized Design Products Worldwide
    MORE INFORMATION Jennifer Nyholm Chicago, Illinois USA [email protected] EUROPE CONTACTS: Fachanan Conlon Dublin, Ireland [email protected] AFTER SEVEN DECADES STRONG, GOOD DESIGN CONTINUES ITS ICONIC HISTORY AWARDING THE BEST AND MOST RECOGNIZED DESIGN PRODUCTS WORLDWIDE The Modern Design Revolution Persists in a Steady Loud and Showy Innovative Pace as It Did at the Offset of the 1950s. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (MAY 25, 2020) — Seventy years ago, a group of die-hard advocates for modern design banded together to brand a novel marketing campaign to showcase and trumpet new American home furnishings, household items, and industrial objects with a revolutionary passion and zeal. Good Design® was founded in Chicago in 1950 by architects Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., director of the Industrial Design Department, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and professor of Architecture and Art History at Columbia University with the first installation of Good Design at The Merchandise Mart in Chicago. The first Good Design exhibition was sponsored by The Merchandise Mart and The Museum of Modern Art, together with the Society of Industrial Designers, the American Institute of Decorators, the Home Furnishing Industry Committee, Neiman-Marcus, Lord & Taylor, The Art Institute of Chicago, and the American Institute of Architects. The Good Design exhibition opened at The Merchandise Mart on January 16, 1950 with the installation designed by Charles and Ray Eames. A reduced version of the exhibition, assembled by Eames, opened at MoMA in New York on November 21, 1950. This was the first time that a wholesale merchandising center and an art museum joined forces to present “the best new examples in modern design in home furnishings.” The program called for three shows a year: one during the Chicago winter furniture market in January, another coinciding with the June summer market in Chicago, and a November show in New York based on the previous two exhibitions.
