Charles & Ray Eames Product Collection
Charles Ormand Eames Jr., a nearly-licensed architect born in St. Louis in 1907, and Bearnice Alexandra “Ray” Kaiser, an abstract painter born in Sacramento in 1912, are cemented into the canon of 20th-century design. Since uniting in 1940, these partners in life and work have been internationally recognized at the forefront of the design, architecture, filmmaking, and furniture communities.
Among other things, the Eames Duo are well known for their iconic furniture designs in partnership with Swiss-German design brand Vitra, such as the Eames Plastic Chair collection (1950), Eames Lounge Chair (1956) & Eames Aluminium Group (1958).
