Charles and Ray Eames didn’t just design furniture—they shaped the way we live. Their boundless curiosity, optimism, and human-centered approach redefined modern design in mid-century America.
The two met in 1940 at Cranbrook Academy of Art—Charles was designing with Eero Saarinen, and Ray was immersed in painting. After marrying in 1941, they moved to Los Angeles and founded the Eames Office, where they experimented with molded plywood, creating stylish, functional furniture that became iconic. But they didn’t stop there. Their vision expanded into architecture, textiles, filmmaking, and even education.
For over four decades, the Eames Office blurred the lines between art and industry, proving that good design could be beautiful, accessible, and joyful. Charles passed away in 1978, and Ray followed ten years later, to the day. Their legacy? A design language that still shapes the world around us.
