Charles Eames

Charles Eames (1907, 1978) was an American designer, architect, and filmmaker whose work with his wife Ray Eames fundamentally shaped 20th-century modernist design. Working primarily through their Venice, California studio, the Eameses pioneered innovative uses of molded plywood, fiberglass, and plastic to create iconic furniture pieces that merged function, beauty, and industrial production. Their interdisciplinary practice extended into photography, film, and exhibition design, earning them a lasting place in both design history and the fine art world.
