For our inaugural Design Q&A, we turned to @MASSDesignGroup architect Caitlin Taylor, who in addition to her role as principal and director of the Food Systems Design Lab at MASS also runs @fourrootfarm with her partners. 📷 by @adriannaglaviano

While World War II raged overseas, the newlywed Eameses turned their expertise of molding plywood and their user-centered approach to problem-solving design to assist the war effort. Visit our online exhibit “Plywood During the War” for more.
#EamesCollection

Designed by San Francisco–based architect William Turnbull and built in 1992, our barn is currently undergoing a series of upgrades during our multi-year renovation project.

As our team catalogs the Eames Collection, we wanted to offer a weekly glimpse into their world with #EIFridayFinds. For #NationalLetterWritingMonth it seemed appropriate share a #rebus letter Charles Eames sent Lucia in 1935. Hit us up with your best guess as to what it says.
