My multi-faceted buddy Eric's compilation video of some of the portraits he's painted in the last few months. Could make for some great wall décor at the Studio.

The Gifted Eye of Charles Eames: a portfolio of 100 images: a success

Last night, Smart Furniture studio hosted The Gifted Eye of Charles Eames, a traveling exhibition of Charles Eames’ personal photography, published by the Eames Office and commissioned by Herman Miller to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth. We had a great turn out, many people showed up from Chattanooga and surrounding areas, even some from outside Tennessee. We were honored to have Herman Miller's Senior Retail Sales Manager, Lisa Hubbs fly down for the event as well. We started the evening off with a question and answer session with Eames and Smart Furniture's Director of Special Accounts, Karen Liwanpo. We live streamed the interview, as well as documented it on video. We will be blogging that soon. The event opened up with wine and hors d'oeuvres, art, and good times. Eames shared a slide show presentation of art by his grandfather, Charles, and shared a few fond memories of his grandparents. Thanks to Eames Demetrios, Charles Eames' gifted eye, Smart Furniture, Greenlife, and all who came out. We had a great time!

What: The Gifted Eye of Charles Eames Exhibit will open at the Smart Furniture Studio in Chattanooga, Tennessee on February 4th. Smart Furniture will host a reception for the exhibit which will feature a presentation by Eames Demetrios, principal of the Eames Office and grandson of Charles and Ray Eames. Charles Eames, together with his wife and design partner, Ray Eames, are among the most influential American designers of the 20th Century. They are best known for their groundbreaking contributions to furniture design, architecture, industrial design and manufacturing, textiles, and the photographic arts. For the Eameses, and particularly Charles, photography was not merely a way to record things; it was a part of the process of design. Charles had an incredible eye for detail and this is evident in his photography. This exhibition represents the first time Charles Eames’ photography has been truly celebrated on its own. These rarely seen photos feature the many facets of Charles and Ray’s life, work and travels. To choose a mere 100 images from such a massive body of work was a daunting task. All are archival images; most have not been published. In combination, each gives a taste of all: furniture, house, projects, travel, and people. When: Beginning February 4th at 6pm Where: Smart Furniture Studio, 2 North Shore, 313 Manufactures Road, Suite 107 If interested in attending please contact giftedeye@smartfurniture.com
