As a part of the grassroots initiative to raise funds to preserve the Eames House, a landmark of mid-20th century modern architecture, Midtown-Atlanta based digital marketing agency, Nebo, and the Eames Foundation have announced the release of four new limited edition prints to support the campaign.
The Eames House, located in Pacific Palisades, California, was once home to Charles and Ray Eames, pioneers of modern art and design. The Eames Foundation now cares for the home, which is in need of restoration.
The Eames Foundation and Nebo previously partnered to create and sell limited edition prints to benefit the home conservation long-term. The original goal to raise $150,000 was achieved in less than three months.

“The response to help preserve this iconic home and a true symbol of modern architecture has been incredible,” said Adam Harrell, President at Nebo. “After meeting our original goal in just three short months, we knew we wanted to extend our efforts to help raise even more and garner additional support for this amazing initiative.”
The new prints are 100 percent original works inspired by the elegant geometry of the Eames’s designs. The limited edition, hand-numbered pieces are being sold for 75 dollars each. All proceeds are going to the Eames Foundation to fund the long-term preservation of the Eames House.

Design Within Reach also partnered with the Eames Foundation and Nebo to help raise awareness by selling the prints from its website and sponsoring a speaking tour in support of the campaign.
“We’re extremely grateful and pleased the first phase of fundraising was so successful,” said Eames Demetrios, Chairman of the Board for the Eames Foundation. “It’s amazing to see the level of support from people across the country, indeed the world, who want to own a piece of the Eames legacy and help contribute to the overall preservation efforts.”
