Don't miss Keynote Speaker Eames Demetrios' presentation on the Charles Eames Centennial
All interior designers owe a lot to late designer Charles Eames. The design philosophies he developed at the beginning of the last century revolutionized the discipline and helped to inspire modern design sensibilities. Celebrations erupted around the world to celebrate what would have been this design pioneer's hundredth birthday. Speaker Eams Demetrios is an expert on Eams design and history. He will share both during his keynote presentation on September 27th at 1:00 pm.
