Reading about Charles and Ray Eames at the moment, and being totally inspired by their ethos to work, life and design. Here’s one of their films, Toccata for toy trains. I love the intro about toys by Charles Eames at the start:
Most old ones have a direct and unembarrised manner that give us a special kind of pleasure, a pleasure different from the admiration we may feel for the perfect little copy of the real thing.
Speaks volumes.
