Designer chairs 2 – Charles & Ray Eames

The most popular and well known designers in Japan are perhaps Charles & Ray Eames.

Charles was born in Missouri in USA and studied architecture in Washington University.

Ray was born in Sacramento, California and studied art. She married Charles in 1941.
Actually, Ray was his second wife, and they kept working together as design partners for over 40 years after their marriage.

They made a contract with Herman Miller and introduced the “Shell side chair” which became a masterpiece of the century. It is simple, yet beautiful, and also matched with the needs of mass production.

They have succeeded not only in architecture and interior designs, but also in art, films and graphics.

We often have a lot of exhibitions and TV programs about them here in Japan.
