If you\u2019ve ever sat in a stackable molded chair, you\u2019ve experienced their creativity. Perhaps best known for their furniture, the Eameses were husband and wife as well as design partners. Their extraordinary body of creative work \u2014 which reflected the nation\u2019s youthful and inventive outlook after World War II \u2014 also included architecture, films and exhibits. Without abandoning tradition, Charles and Ray Eames used new materials and technology to create high-quality products that addressed everyday problems and made modern design available to the American public.
