Charles and Ray Eames

Charles and Ray Eames were a husband-and-wife design team who made significant contributions to the fields of architecture, furniture design, and industrial design during the mid-20th century. Charles was an architect, and Ray was a painter and textile artist, and together they created some of the most iconic designs of the modernist era.
