I have to say it

The Eames' are overrated! There I said it.

They're overrated, overrated overrated!

THERE IS NO EAMES ERA. It's called the 50s, not the damn Eames era.

They didn't invent 50s design, but they did put a lot of work in on "everythingIdoisart".

I tried to watch a video about the Eames' once. It made me nauseous. Bent plywood, feathers in a box, and some fiberglass work stolen from Eero Saarinen. Worthless.

Check out someone who broke some ground. Gerrit Rietveld, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Alvar Aalto, or Richard Neutra.

Sometimes

Sometimes you just run into something interesting.
