The Eames Memory Game features the iconic designs of Charles and Ray Eames.
From their furniture design, graphics, textiles, toy design, architecture, exhibit design, and film, these modern masters are considered the pre-eminent pioneers of mid-century design. Most recently, their story is told in the 2011 documentary, "Eames: The Architect and The Painter," and their living rom, and all its contents, have been rebuilt and installed at LACMA as part of the Pacific Standard Time Show.
 
The Eameses&; designs are featured here in this well-designed game for kids of all ages and adults. AMMO&;s line of children&;s toys include 20th century design heroes Charley Harper, Alexander Girard, and now Charles and Ray Eames.
How to play:
For younger children, play with nine pairs or fewer. For a more challenging game, geared toward older children and adults, play with all 36 pairs. Mix and spread cards face down. Players take turns flipping any two cards up. If cards match, player continues. If cards do not match, player&;s turn ends and cards remain in the same position. When all cards are matched, player with the most pairs wins.
CHARLES AND RAY EAMES are among the most important and influential designers of the 20th century. Renowned as visionaries, their groundbreaking contributions to architecture, furniture design, exhibition design, photography, film, toys, and products are highly regarded throughout the world.
The Eameses were incredibly prolific and enthusiastic in all of their boundary-less pursuits.
Their own Case Study home in Pacific Palisades and their countless iconic furniture designs, including the seminal Eames Lounge chair, are recognized as some of the most significant contributions to Modernism. It is a testament to their curiosity, passion, and commitment to good design that their work continues to inspire new and future generations of designers and consumers alike.
