Charles Eames | Ray Eames

See It

by Josh Sens

YOU CAN COUNT ON THE EAMES TEAM

Charles and Ray Eames were famous for their furniture. But the husband-and-wife design team had a number of interests — and an interest in numbers. A new exhibit at the San Francisco Exploratorium examines the Eames’ fascination with math and numbers. Mathematica: A World of Numbers and Beyond spotlights edgy Eames innovations, like 512 light bulbs that perform multiplication and 30,000 cascading balls that form a bell curve. It’s quirky and quixotic. And it all adds up to good fun. Through May 5. (415) 563-7337, www.exploratorium.com
