Charles (1907-1978) and Ray Eames (1912-1988) were a famous American design duo.
Charles studied architecture at Washington University, while Ray was a painter who later collaborated closely with her husband.
In 1941, they established the Eames Office in Los Angeles, which became their design laboratory.
They are most famous for their classic furniture designs, including the Eames Lounge Chair & Plywood chairs.
They were among the first to use new materials like molded plywood, fiberglass, and plastics in furniture design.
In addition to furniture, they also designed architectural structures, exhibitions, toys, and films.
Their design philosophy emphasized functionality, simplicity, and an understanding of human needs.
