Charles and Ray Eames

"Here is one of the few effective keys to the design problem-the ability to the designer to recognize as many of the constraints as possible-his willingness and enthusiasm for working within these constraints-the constraints of price, of size, of strength, balance, time, ect.; each problem has its own particular list."
Charles Eames
