From Herman Miller's Blog Post "The Gifted Eye"



We think of Charles Eames as a great designer but the exhibition that opened February 4th showed us another side to this talented man - that of photographer. Hosted by Smart Furniture in our Chattanooga, TN studio a show of 100 photographs by Charles ran until March 4.



It was a rather cold evening on February 4th but over 200 design enthusiasts showed up to hear Eames Demetrios talk about Charles and Ray’s design philosophy and enjoy the images. Many of the shots covered Charles’ work and his travels and life with Ray. We were very excited to present the collection to the world because it was the first time Charles Eames’ photography had been truly celebrated on its own. These rarely seen photos feature the many facets of Charles and Ray’s life, work and travels.
