Charles and Ray Eames






The Eameses played a giant roll in Modern Design. Not by just being a great influence with their designs, but they developed practical uses for technologies such as wire mesh chairs, plastic resin chairs, and most importantly, fibreglass. Most of their more famous works include the application of bent plywood initially used by Aalto. Their furniture often displays the use of three or more materials from woods, plastics and metals. They use very hard surfaces but create soft moulds to create a more inviting and comfortable chair.
