[...] part architect, part furniture designer, part product designer, part researcher, part landscape architect, and part Pied Piper of design, and the things he comes up with manage somehow to be at once charming and brash.
[...] shares not only the Eameses’ determination to be wide-ranging but also their fascination with technology, their interest in communication, and, most important of all, their passionate belief in the meaning of actually making things and in using materials in new ways.

are there other architects /designers as multi disciplinary as him?
some smaller firms come to mind... but his consistent quality is unique.
I'm sorry to say this but....
Man~ He is more like Sottsass of 'Memphis' to me.
Eames would turn over in his grave.
How dare he?
Like saying Coldplay is the 21st Century Beatles because they both play music.
To add: the main difference between Eames and Heatherwick is that Eames (and design at the time) was central to [American] industry whereas Heatherwick designs vanity gadget projects for the elite
