Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen

Chatauqua Blvd, Pacific Palisades. Los Angeles, California. USA. 1949

The Eames house is one of the main icons of the Californian architecture from the second half of the twentieth century. It would be part of the group famous Case Study Houses (n.8) would sponsor Magazine Arts and Architecture.

The architects propose a model of very open and spacious home built with standardized light industrial elements. It would generate a fluid space that would occupy the mythical marriage Eames and would be the place from which arise its many initiatives and designs.
