Charles & Ray: Designers at Play: A Story of Charles and Ray Eames
by James Yang (Author) James Yang (Illustrator)
A playful introduction to the designs of Charles and Ray Eames by Geisel-winning creator James Yang.
Charles was an architect. Ray was a painter. Together they made the perfect team. By using structure, shape, and color, they knew they could transform anything. And because they saw problem-solving as an adventure, they were able to incorporate playfulness into everything they designed.
Geisel Award-winning author and illustrator James Yang has created an exuberant story about Charles and Ray Eames, two of the most iconic designers of the Mid-century modern design movement, which will inspire readers to dream up new ways to see the world around them.
