Charles and Ray Eames Furniture
American
Charles Eames and Ray Eames were the embodiment of the inventiveness, energy and optimism at the heart of mid-century modern American design, and have been recognized as the most influential designers of the 20th century.
As furniture designers, filmmakers, artists, textile and graphic designers and even toy and puzzle makers, the Eameses were a visionary and effective force for the notion that design should be an agent of positive change. They are the happy, ever-curious, ever-adventurous faces of modernism.
Charles (1907–78) studied architecture and industrial design. Ray (née Beatrice Alexandra Kaiser, 1912–88) was an artist, who studied under the Abstract Expressionist painter Hans Hofmann. They met in 1940 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in suburban Detroit (the legendary institution where Charles also met his frequent collaborator Eero Saarinen and the artist and designer Harry Bertoia) and married the next year.
His technical skills and her artistic flair were wonderfully complementary. They moved to Los Angeles in 1941, where Charles worked on set design for MGM. In the evenings at their apartment, they experimented with molded plywood using a handmade heat-and-pressurization device they called the “Kazam!” machine. The next year, they won a contract from the U.S. Navy for lightweight plywood leg splints for wounded servicemen — they are coveted collectibles today; more so those that Ray used to make sculptures.
The Navy contract allowed Charles to open a professional studio, and the attention-grabbing plywood furniture the firm produced prompted George Nelson, the director of design of the furniture-maker Herman Miller Inc., to enlist Charles and (by association, if not by contract) Ray in 1946. Some of the first Eames items to emerge from Herman Miller are now classics: the LCW, or Lounge Chair Wood, and the DCM, or Dining Chair Metal, supported by tubular steel.
The Eameses eagerly embraced new technology and materials, and one of their peculiar talents was to imbue their supremely modern design with references to folk traditions. Their Wire chair group of the 1950s, for example, was inspired by basket weaving techniques. The populist notion of “good design for all” drove their molded fiberglass chair series that same decade, and also produced the organic-form, ever-delightful La Chaise. In 1956 the Eames lounge chair and ottoman appeared — the supremely comfortable plywood-base-and-leather-upholstery creation that will likely live in homes as long as there are people with good taste and sense.
Charles Eames once said, “The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.” For very good collectors and thoughtful interior designers, a piece of design by the Eameses, the closer produced to original conception the better, is almost de rigueur — for its beauty and comfort, and not least as a tribute to the creative legacy and enduring influence of Charles and Ray Eames.
The collection of original Eames furniture on 1stDibs includes chairs, tables, case pieces and other items.

Eames Molded Fiberglass Armchair for Herman Miller "Seafoam Green"'
Arguably one of the 20th century’s most beloved designs, the Eames Shell chairs remain a sought after design classic nearly 55 years later. The molded fiberglass chairs are the result of Charles and Ray’s 6 years of experimenting with molded plywood to create a single shell form. Unable to successfully create the single shell with molded plywood at the time, Charles & Ray saw an opportunity to fulfill their vision using a new material: fiberglass.
Charles Eames famously said, “The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.” The Molded Shell Chairs...

Eames Lounge Chair with Ottoman for Herman Miller, United States, 1957
By Charles and Ray Eames, Herman Miller
Located in Antwerp, BE
Eames lounge chair with ottoman, designed by the iconic duo Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller. This timeless icon has been carefully restored to its first-generation glory, born March 5, 1957, in the United States. It features the signature 5-ply plywood construction, down-filled cushions, and coveted Rio walnut veneer sourced from the highly sought-after Dalbergia nigra in Brazil, renowned as the most valuable wood in the world. This particular chair was directly acquired in Saint-Louis, Missouri, USA.
The restoration process of the veneer included stripping, bleaching, washing, scraping, sanding, and multi-layered oiling. A tension test was conducted on the shock mounts, which proved to be very stable. The rubber components of the vertical supports were replaced. All leather parts were washed, recolored, and nourished. The down filling was fluffed, tufting was reattached, and 2 back panels with zippers were replaced. All hardware underwent electrolytic cleaning and steaming, and the threads of the hardware were purified. All exposed aluminum parts were manually polished, and the bush in sintered bronze was replaced. The result is a breathtaking revival of the Eames lounge chair, with every detail lovingly restored to its original splendor.
The Eames lounge chair made its debut on March 14, 1956, on the renowned NBC program 'Home,' hosted by Arlene Francis. Notably, it was the first piece of furniture ever launched on national television and remains the only one to have stayed in continuous production to this day. Designed by Charles and Ray Eames, along with their close friend, the renowned film director Billy Wilder, the chair was envisioned with Wilder in mind. Interestingly, upon its initial presentation to Wilder, he simply fell asleep in the chair. Charles Eames consistently described his vision for the chair as wanting to impart the receptive appearance of a well-used baseball...
