Documentary

Interviews with the junior designers swept into the 24-7 world of "The Eamery" are the heart of this complex picture of a husband-and-wife creative team that define the era of Mid-Century Modernism. Narrated by James Franco, the film draws from a trove of archival material, primarily the stunning films and photographs produced in mind-boggling volume by Charles, Ray, and their staff during the hyper-creative forty years of the Eames Office.

VIBE

A warm, intellectual journey into the minds of design icons. It feels like a masterclass in creativity, blending personal stories with the aesthetic of a bygone era. Inspiring and deeply informative.
