Charles and Ray Eames

Charles and Ray Eames

This post is a little research about the Eamess'. They were designers, artists, a married couple, and some super creative people. I'm not going to talk about their past because I think that's a little boring. I'd like to focus on their designs and innovative spirit. One thing I admire about these two people is the range of things they were not only involved in but became very influential including design, architecture, film making, industrial design, and furniture design.

The above chair is the Eames chair, it was made entirely of one piece of plywood with no pieces to put together. This technique involved bending and molding the plywood into the shape of a chair. It must have taken a very persistent and creative mind to finally achieve this end result.

This is a great photo that I feel like sums up the Eames couple, and captures their fun creative attitude.
