I just found this and it is very interesting www2.hermanmiller.com/discoveringdesign/
This contains the original clip of Arlean Francis interviewing Charles and Ray Eames in 1956 when they introducted the the 670 lounge chair
on her moring show .....Truly worth viewing There is also some other great historical information on early day design.

Its so nice...
to see something that I am not old enough to remember. 🙂
Production values were, um, a bit lower in those days.
And there was a kind of sincere innocense in the Golden Age of TV that we cannot duplicate.
More importantly, there was a kind of brilliance in the Eames' designs that we can't duplicate either.
Be inspired by them all you want, but find your own brilliance springing from the time in which we live.

Wow, the visual effects are...
Wow, the visual effects are amazing 🙂
Scary, I once knew a young textile designer from Brazil that looked, smiled and acted exactly like Ray. But I think the similarities stops there as she took large pictures of her bare breasts for a public exhibition and even ditched her fiancé to move in with the much older comic book teacher from our arts & crafts school, he he.
