15 Quotes by Charles Eames

• In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
• Who ever said that pleasure wasn't functional?
• 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.
• The real questions are: Does it solve a problem? Is it serviceable? How is it going to look in ten years?

• Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.
• It makes me feel guilty that anybody should have such a good time doing what they are supposed to do.
• It is almost impossible to reconcile self expression with the creative act.
• Ideas are cheap. Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make.
• Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se.
• Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.
• Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.
• Art resides in the quality of doing, process is not magic.
• We work because it's a chain reaction, each subject leads to the next.
• It is not easy to do something good, but it is extremely difficult to do something bad.
