Charles Eames quotes

To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.

Art resides in the quality of doing, process is not magic.

Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.

Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.

Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se.

Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.

In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.

The details are not the details. They make the design.

Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.
