Abstract
Design Q & A: "One of the most concise, witty statements about design ever put on film."--Container. Produced "on the occasion of the exhibition 'Qu'est ce que le design?' at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Palais du Louvre." Produced for Herman Miller, Inc.
Mathematics Peepshows are fast-paced two-minute shorts, each illustrating a single mathematical principle. Produced for International Business Machines Corporation [IBM Corp.] as part of the exhibition 'Mathematica ... a world of numbers and beyond."
SX-70, produced for Polaroid Corporation, is a lively introduction of a revolutionary Land camera and its aesthetic potential, and a look at the Eames' approach to photography.
Nicholas Copernicus ... is a rich, beautifully photographed film evoking the astronomer's universe.
The Fiberglass Chairs features an exciting contemporary look at the initial design and production of these famous chairs. Produced for Herman Miller, Inc.
Goods is a short assembled from audio and slides of a lecture on "The New Covetables" given by Charles Eames during his tenure as the Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard, 1970-1971. Gives a rare glimpse of the Eames' three-screen slide shows.
