Design Q & A: Charles and Ray Eames,Design Q & A ,Interview

Welcome to the first installment of WHY’s five-part Design Q & A series, where we put the questions Charles and Ray Eames answered about the nature of design to a diverse crop of Herman Miller’s designers.

Let’s start with the masters.

In 1972, the Eames Office, with the support of Herman Miller, made Design Q & A, a short film that brilliantly lays out Charles and Ray’s way of thinking about their craft. At once charming and challenging, the film has Charles (speaking for the pair) submitting to a kind of good-natured, 29-question grilling from French curator Madame L’Amic on what design is and how it works. Three years earlier in 1969, the Eameses’ answers to L’Amic’s queries were part of the basis of the exhibition Qu’est ce que le design? (What is Design?) at the Mue des Arts Décoratifs, Palais de Louvre. The Eameses also presented Design Q & A as a two-screen slideshow. Taken as a whole, Design Q & A offers a kind of practical manifesto, a Proust Questionnaire for the RISD set, a series of tightly-held and lightly-worn abstractions that point the Eameses’ inimitable way from human problems to humane solutions.

“Design addresses itself to the need.”

-Charles Eames

What is your definition of ‘Design,’ Monsieur Eames?

One could describe Design as a plan for arranging elements to accomplish a particular purpose.

Is Design an expression of art?

I would rather say it’s an expression of purpose. It may, if it is good enough, later be judged as art.

Is Design a craft for industrial purposes?

No, but Design may be a solution to some industrial problems.

What are the boundaries of Design?

What are the boundaries of problems?

Is Design a discipline that concerns itself with only one part of the environment?

No.

Is it a method of general expression?

No. It is a method of action.

Is Design a creation of an individual?

No, because to be realistic, one must always recognize the influence of those that have gone before.

Is Design a creation of a group?

Very often.

Is there a Design ethic?

There are always Design constraints, and these often imply an ethic.
