The Best for The Most for The Least

Charles and Ray Eames

A coffee table book highlighting the extensive biography and influence of the legendary design couple Ray and Charles Eames. Specifically focusing on their products, and the groundbreaking production capabilities of the Eames foundation, this timeline in the form of a book covers all the iconic achievements of Ray and Charles including planes, radios, toys, cabinets, and of course their famously iconic chairs.

The design behind The Best for the Most for The Least, pulls typographic inspiration from the Eames’ advertisements to convey the retro-modern aesthetic they so famously helped invent. Patterns found throughout Ray’s work and sketches from Charles’ add secondary elements of depth behind the overlapping elements of type and image reflecting the layered woodwork of their furniture. Together, this helps make the large two page compositions worthy of standing alone, carefully placed throughout the book brandishing quotes from the couple.
