Charles Eames replied, in a 1972 interview with the Los Angeles Times:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo you can design a piece of architecture you can hold in your hand, that won\u2019t get away from you-in concept\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In my work I get inspired by the shape of Greek letters, the abstract geometry of space, the light, thin elements and curves introduced by modern architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I look for beauty in the memories of my childhood, in architecture, in the details I find in museums, books, nature and the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I work with wood and marble but lately I love the different types of metal sheets that can produce very thin and light structures. I create forms that are dynamic but simple, characteristics that define the contemporary way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love white because it is simple, clean and bright. It creates a an all round environment that soothes the mind and the soul. Every once in a while I get passionate about other colours too depending on what I work on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am an optimist by nature, I believe that looking for beauty around us is important for a balanced and happy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simplicity, Purity, Lightness We believe in the beauty of simple things such as sunlight on a whitewashed wall.
