Charles and Ray Eames:

They were the design power couple of the 20th century. Their Eames Lounge chair for Herman Miller is one of the most recognized furniture designs in the world. The Eames pioneered new technology like plywood and fiberglass for household use. This innovations led to the ability to mass manufacture a high quality furniture experience. As Charles so often quoted, "the best, for the most, for the least."

For over 35 years, Charles and Ray lived as husband and wife, but also as partners in a design practice.  They never felt limited to furniture design and explored their varied interests; photography, film, painting, sculpture, and theater. They even had a clown act at the circus.
