  • Summary

  • Chief Curator of the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity, Llisa Demetrios grew up in a family of brilliant sculptors, authors, and designers. Her mother’s parents were none other than Charles and Ray Eames, the legendary mid-century design duo. In addition to pioneering design work, apparently they were excellent grandparents as well, imparting on Llisa a way of engaging with the world through curiosity and a lens for new possibilities. This approach to creative problem-solving has guided Llisa through a career as an archivist and bronze sculptor. Now, as the Chief Curator of the recently-launched Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity, Llisa is bringing the lessons of Charles and Ray to life for the next generation of curious problem solvers. Images, links and more from Llisa!Many thanks to this episode’s sponsors:Design Museum Week Design Museum Week is a hybrid design conference taking place this April 25th-29th, with virtual sessions during the day - so you can sign on from anywhere -  and then in the evening there will be in-person studio tours in cities around the U.S. Each day will feature conversations, keynote presentations, and interactive workshops designed to engage with the pressing urgencies of this current moment for people, business, and our planet.
