A Close Partnership: Ray and Charles Eames
On a bluff in Pacific Palisades, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, sit the Eames House and workshop, their rectangular structures nestled between the trunks of century-old eucalyptus trees. Expansive glass walls, subdivided into rectangles by steel mullions, offer tantalizing glimpses into the daily and work life of its occupants. The home and workshop were designed by Charles and Ray Eames and built in 1949.
The Eameses were two of the most significant designers of the mid-twentieth century.
