- We saw Eames: The Architect & The Painter ten days ago at Bloor Cinema. It upset me so much that I didn’t know what to write. Charles+Ray found a successful design firm. Charles (who is described as very very charismatic) meets new girl and offers to leave Ray and start a new design firm with her. Imagine a version of the Bill+Hillary (Billary?) story where Monica runs for president.
- Reading Here Are The Women of Y Combinator And They Are Awesome, I stumble over this quote: “Women and men look at things differently. Women will go to a store and browse. But job search is built around knowing what you want and going after that.” Like seriously!!!
I do think that Charles, of Eames Design, was a bit of a douche, but I really loved the documentary, and I honestly thought the design work they produced as a team was impressive.
I agree the documentary was well made and the team made functional works of art. Never knew that they started with an inexpensive leg splint.
