The design genius of Charles + Ray Eames

Charles and Ray Eames approached design as an all-encompassing journey, blending playful experimentation with deep purpose. From iconic chairs to multi-screen films shown at the height of the Cold War, they made creativity a hands-on, lifelong pursuit. Their philosophy valued process and understanding over style, believing that solving real needs matters more than aesthetics. Their story highlights how design thinking enriches daily life, not just the objects around us.
