	title of this thread your message Unfortunately Chewbacca, you grossly underestimate the impact the Eames' had and wildly overestimate Starck's. The Eames gave us paradigm shifts in how we think about materiality. They brought about the reality of modularity. They brought about a new aesthetic that represented the cultural optimism and prosperity of post-war America and then revolutionized the way the world viewed that optimism. In short, they changed what we think about, and how we think about it. Rarely does Starck venture past the ironic, the sarcastic, the pastiche. Rarely is his form beautiful, original, or well wrought. He has compared himself to a decorator, a person who makes designs for the moment, but nothing that is great and timeless. Looking at the profusion of both designers work is simplistic and naive. Starck has access to the internet...and if mere volume were the status of greatness then WalMart would be MoMA. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
