Eames Demetrios Speaks At
The Eames Design Legacy: A Design Lecture Series
on April 24, 7 pm

Key innovators in modern 20th century design, Charles and Ray Eames worked in a broad spectrum of design media - architecture, furniture design, film, photography, graphic design, toys, and public exhibition. Taking the Eames classic 1961 Mathematica: The World of Numbers…and Beyond exhibition currently on display at the Exploratorium as a point of departure, the Exploratorium presents the final installment of The Eames Design Legacy: A Design Lecture Series, with Eames Demetrios, Director of the Eames Office, on Wednesday April 24, at 7pm. This event is free with admission to the Exploratorium. Bay Area collector, curator, and design historian Steve Cabella will act as host.

Eames Demetrios is a multimedia and exhibition designer, lecturer, filmmaker and author. Additionally, as the principal of the Eames Office, he directs the "preserving, communicating and extending the work of Charles and Ray Eames."
Demetrios frequently lectures to museum staff and educators and participates with corporations on topics related to design, Powers of Ten, and connecting physical space and cyberspace. His recently completed book, An Eames Primer, provides the first documentation of the real design process of his grandparents, Charles and Ray Eames. It is published by Universe, a division of Rizzoli Books.

The Eames’ Mathematica: The World of Numbers…and Beyond at the Exploratorium provides a rare opportunity to walk through an exhibition designed by world renown Charles and Ray Eames – their only one still extant.
