"Ice Cube Celebrates the Eames"
Fresh Mid-Century Modern Homes Listings from Across the Country
“A lot of people think LA is just eye-sore after eye-sore, full of mini-malls, palm trees and billboards. So what? They don’t know the L.A. I know.”
So starts an epic little video, featuring none other than Ice Cube (O’Shea Jackson), paying homage to design duo Charles and Ray Eames.
As it turns out, the certified-platinum recording artist studied architectural drafting before committing to music full-time. As Jackson tours Case Study House No. 8, he compares the Eames approach with his own creative process:
“You have to use what you got and make the most of it. What I love about the Eames, is how resourceful they are . . . It’s not about the pieces. Its how the pieces work together. Taking something that already exists and making it something special, kind of like sampling.”
