Known for their groundbreaking furniture creations for Herman Miller and Vitra, Charles and Ray Eames redefined postwar American design with their playful, yet purposeful sensibility. The celebrated 20th-century designers were driven by the belief that everyday objects should go beyond utilitarian function to enrich people’s lives on a personal level. Today, Eames Office—which was established by the husband-and-wife duo in the mid-20th century—is run by the third generation of the Eames family.
