Charles & Ray Eames are the pioneer in the Indian Design scenario. Indeed they are the architect on the formation of the first Indian Design School in Ahmedabad in India. The Lota or the traditional pot rediscovered by them had turned a new terminology in the Indian design context.
Kudos to them for the formulating the present designer breed in India.

Thanks so much for posting this. I have never seen Miss Francis other than on WML? I knew she had along running local (in NYC) show but I figured most of them went out live and were never saved. This is nice to see.

nblagg: You're a fool.

Charles himself always said that half of the work of the Eames Office was due to Ray. They worked together on everything, and they refused to say who did what. Because, due to the collaborative way they worked, at the end of the day neither could say. Theirs were joint works.

What is indisputable: Charles would have been a moderately successful architect and industrial designer without Ray. Together, however, they were brilliant.
