America’s quintessential husband and wife creative team worked in just about every medium imaginable. They, more than any other designer, helped shape California and American Modernism in the early 1950s.
They are perhaps most well known for the Eames Lounge (670) and Ottoman (671), and their moulded fibreglass lounge chairs.
