Their influence on the aesthetic and social aspects of design made them two of the greatest industrial designers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in St. Louis, Missouri, Charles Eames grew up in America’s industrial heartland. As a young man he worked for engineers and manufacturers, anticipating his lifelong interest in mechanics and the complex working of things. Ray Kaiser, born in Sacramento, California, spent her formative years in New York’s modern art movements and participated in the first wave of American-born abstract artists. They met at the Cranbrook Academy of Art near Detroit in 1940. Cranbrook’s creed of better living through better design shaped their sensibilities and their shared agenda. They married in 1941 and moved to Los Angeles as the city was gearing up for World War II. Wartime experiments with new materials and technologies inspired the Eames’ low-cost furniture for Herman Miller and expanded ways for designers to work with industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn LA, they conducted plywood experiments in their apartment. The US Navy order enabled the Eames to rent an office on Santa Monica Boulevard in 1942 and to gather a group of collaborators including Harry Bertoia. They produced sculpture, chairs, screens, and tables in plywood. Herman Miller, the US furniture group, was persuaded to put some of these pieces into production by George Nelson, its head of design. All the Eames’ plywood furniture combined an elegant organic aesthetic with a love of materials and technical ingenuity. After the success of the plywood pieces, the Eames focused on other materials, creating furniture in fiberglass, plastic, aluminum and, for the 1956 lounge chair, leather and rosewood. The Lounge Chair became an icon of the 1960s and 1970s, becoming a must-have for all hip executives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir collaboration with Herman Miller continued and extended to Vitra, its European partner. Charles and Ray were equally influential at making respectable the then-neglected folk crafts not only in the US but also in India. These concerns dominated their later work in the 1970s when, able to live comfortably on their Herman Miller and Vitra royalties, they concentrated their creative energy on propagating their ideas in exhibitions, books and films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles died in 1978 and Ray worked hard to complete any unfinished projects but having done so, did not seek new ones. She devoted the rest of her life to communicating their ideas through talks and writing. Ray Eames died in 1988, ten years to the day after Charles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"wp-button wp-button-medium wp-button-border wp-button-rounded tright\" href=\"https:\/\/grshop.com\/designers\/charles-ray-eames.html\"\u003eShop all designs by Charles \u0026amp; Ray Eames\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-accordion__content\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery available within Canada, with a few exceptions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eSmall items will be delivered by FedEx or other courier service in your area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eLarge items will be delivered by freight service.
