Charles & Ray Eames
Ray (1912-1988) and Charles (1907-1978) Eames designed many of the design icons
of the last century. Even people who do not know their name,
know their work, or might even sit on one of their world famous chairs
in their
home or office. As designers the couple are legendary. Every
designer wants to be at least a little like the Eameses. Design luminaries
like
Terence Conran, Jasper Morisson and Aldo van Eyck rate their
work among the finest and most important product design of the twentieth
century
and stress the major impact it has had on their lives.
