EAMES
Charles Ormond Eames, Jr (1907 – 1978) briefly studied architecture at Washington University in St. Louison an architecture scholarship. After two years of study, he left the university.
In 1941, Charles divorced his first wife, and married Ray Kaiser (1912 – 1988). Charles and Ray Eames moved to Los Angeles, California, where they would work and live for the rest of their lives.
In the late 1940s the Eames couple designed and built the groundbreaking Eames House, Case Study House #8, as their home. Located upon a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and hand-constructed within a matter of days entirely of pre-fabricated steel parts intended for industrial construction, it remains a milestone of modern architecture.
In the 1950s, the Eameses continued their work in architecture and modern furnituredesign. Like in the earlier moulded plywood work, the Eameses pioneered innovative technologies, such as the fiberglass, plastic resin chairs and the wire mesh chairs designed for Herman Miller.
From the beginning, the Eames furniture has usually been listed as by Charles Eames; indeed in the 1948 and 1952 Herman Millerbound catalogs, only Charles' name is listed, but it has become clear that Ray was deeply involved and should be considered an equal partner. In 1979, the Royal Institute of British Architectsawarded Charles and Ray with the Royal Gold Medal.
