The Eames Influence: Llisa Demetrios on “Design Better”

Midcentury modern design aesthetics are enduring and as relevant today as ever. Perhaps no designers influenced those philosophies more than Charles and Ray Eames whose body of work transcends media and is still being produced to this day. In this course adapted from the Design Better podcast, join Llisa Demetrios—the chief curator of the Eames Institute and the granddaughter of Charles and Ray—as she shares some of the personal stories behind the legendary designers, from how they met to Llisa’s experience of having two of the most creative grandparents a child could wish for, the legacy of their designs, and much more. Ideal for designers of all kinds, this course is particularly targeted at designers who are interested in design thinking and designing for scale, including product and industrial designers.
