About Eames Atomic
Mid-century modern, atomic-age industrial design, and the houses that wouldn't quit.
Why midcentury, still
Midcentury modern survived its own caricature. The Eames lounge chair is now a luxury item; the Saarinen tulip table is in every Instagram interior. We're interested in the rest — the ranch houses being demolished, the unsung designers, the plastics chemistry that made the era possible. Eames Atomic documents what's still here.
