pp.280 Tokujin Yoshioka in relation to his Honey-Pop Armchair “a concept [is] often inspired simply by the desire to use new materials and processes… I never start with form”. Chapter on Good design contains useful resources on much of the Eames work in relation to other works of a similar time period. Interesting point that the Eames Lounger was said to be originally produced for Charles’s friend Billy Wilder (pp.201). Brief written descriptions of this piece, LCM Low Side Chair and La Chaise in earlier pages.

pp.12 Materials as the Basis of Ideas, will provide very nice introduction information and support material for the materials case study. Similar to Ashby’s Materials and design. Other chapters in the book extensively explore specific materials and experts’ use, views and ideas of them. Also an article on Hella Jongerius by Bradley Quinn could give an insight to the relationship between materials and other design derivers such as personal factors.pp.98-101
