The Eames'™ Lounge Chair and Ottoman, perhaps the signature piece by the legendary design team of Charles and Ray Eames, is an icon of the 20th Century. In these movies, filmmaker Eames Demetrios not only takes you inside the factory and shows you how it is made, he underscores the seamless continuity between the designers' original vision and the chair's manufacture today. The New York Times called 670/671 (the first film on this disk) "a short but riveting documentary" (Roberta Smith, NYT). Six films all together, plus bonus features (83 minutes total).
