Quotes from Ray and Charles Eames
"The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host, all of whose energy goes into trying to anticipate the needs of his/her guests."
"To my mind, crafts seem to suffer more from over-doses of originality in design, rather than from lack of this. Too much originality, I would say. Not enough continuity. I can think of no great craftsman whom you would accuse of being original. You wouldn't accuse Sheraton of being original in his generation. I wouldn't accuse Paul Revere of being original. Revere was an excellent craftsman, and he put int his work many plus values. But he was not original, in the sense of originality. The panic to be original is one of the evidences of lack of a knowledge."
