Eames Demetrios is a man who wears a lot of hats. Currently director of The Eames Office in Santa Monica, CA, he has raised the world’s awareness of the impact his grandparents, Charles and Ray Eames, have had on the fields of architecture, furniture, and visual design. As such, he has helped reintroduce classic pieces into the global market, aided in the restoration and subsequent release of his grandparents’ art-films, and worked closely with companies like Vitra and Herman Miller to ensure that all Eames furniture are made authentically. He was recently in the Philippines for the official opening of the CWC Interiors showroom in BGC where he gave a talk on his grandparents' legacy and the impact it has had on modern design.
But, in his own right, Demetrios has made a name for himself in various creative disciplines. He has penned several books, including the Discover Kymaerica Travel Guide that is linked to Kcymaerxthaere – a three-dimensional work of fiction that has been going on for over a decade, encompassing creative installations in numerous locations across the globe. His filmography includes more than 60 films and videos made over the past three decades, including the whimsical stop-motion short A Gathering of Elephants which was made in 2007 to commemorate the centennial of Charles Eames’ birth.
He is based in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons. For more information, visit his official website.
