Eames Demetrios: Design vs. Style and Other Eames Philosophies

Modern Tulsa is excited to announce our partnership this month with Philbrook’s 3rd Thursday speaker series.

The popular 3rd Thursday series begins January 21st 2010 with a bang. Eames Demetrios, grandson of legendary designers Charles and Ray Eames and current director of the Eames Office, will join us for a discussion on design vs. style. For this event, Mr. Demetrios will be sharing a few treasures from the family archive as well as signing books and posters.

Date: Thursday, January 21, 2010
Times: 5:30pm to 8:00pm
Free with Museum Admission
Room: Patti Johnson Wilson Hall

The objects Charles and Ray Eames designed are legendary for their beauty and utility, but the ideas behind them are just as beautiful and useful. Eames Demetrios, author of An Eames Primer, director of the Eames Office and a member of the Eames family, will provide a personal look at the designers, their process, philosophy and influence on the design world.

Eames Demetrios is dedicated to communicating, preserving, and extending the work of Charles and Ray Eames. His projects include multimedia production, printed materials, toys, exhibition design, filmmaking and much more.
