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

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

  • Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.

  • 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.

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