Charles and Ray Eames

USA (1907-1978): Charles / USA (1912-1988): Ray

Charles and Ray married in 1941 and moved to California where they continued their furniture design work with molding plywood. In 1946, Evans Products began producing the Eameses’ molded plywood furniture. Their molded plywood chair was called “the chair of the century” by the influential architectural critic Esther McCoy. Soon production was taken over by Herman Miller, Inc., who continues to produce the furniture in the United States today.
