Essential Eames Exhibition

Making its Singapore debut at ArtScience Museum™ on 29th June, 2013, Essential Eames: A Herman Miller Exhibition will capture the spirit and philosophy behind the most famous couple in design, Charles and Ray Eames.

Based on the book, An Eames Primer, the exhibition traces the life and work of the design couple who are credited with “…changing the way the 20th Century sat down” (The Washington Post). Co-presented by ArtScience Museum and Herman Miller in collaboration with the Eames Office, Essential Eames will showcase rare and never-before-seen works from the Eames’ family collection, The Eames Office, and Herman Miller archives.

The design duo’s unique relationship with Herman Miller, the manufacturer of Eames products, will also be highlighted throughout the exhibition. The timeless furniture creations of Charles and Ray Eames have provided the visual backdrop in homes and offices around the world for the better part of the last century.

Yet their influence and innovation extends far beyond furniture – their distinctive work in architecture, exhibition design, toy making, film and philosophy is prolific. Essential Eames will display the vast range and variety of the couple’s unmatched creative output. Amongst the unique and original furniture designed by Charles and Ray Eames and included in the exhibition are a special chair designed for Pope John Paul II and the signature fibreglass Eames shell chairs.

Additionally, original paintings by Ray Eames will be on display for the first time in the Asia Pacific.

Tickets for Essential Eames: A Herman Miller Exhibition will be on sale from 1 June, 2013.
