John and Marilyn Neuhart were staffers at the Eames Office and designed the Connections Exhibit, the first exhibit ever devoted soley to the work of the Eames Office.

The final word on reference material for anything pertaining to the Eameses. Everything you could possibly want to know about the Herman Miller Furniture, films, graphic design and exhibits of the prolific husband and wife team.

Nothing says modernist perfection like an Eames design. Though they are best known to the general public for their furniture, the husband and wife duo of Charles and Ray Eames (1907-78 and 1912-88, respectively) were also forerunners in the fields of architecture, industrial design, photography, and film. This book covers all the aspects of their illustrious career, from the earliest furniture experiments and molded plywood designs to the Case Study Houses to their work for Herman Miller and films such as the seminal short, Powers of Ten.
