It has an ergonomic shape that easily adapts to the contours of the body, and is in line with the elegant language developed by the Eames couple in the 1950s and 1960s. Charles and Ray Eames, a married couple and artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine arts and cinema, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio tackling residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He would eventually teach there, directing the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Prize, awarded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his Cranbrook colleague, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they will remain for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles together designed their home, known as the “Eames House,” considered today a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s, the couple continued working in architecture and furniture design, being pioneers in the use of new techniques and materials such as fiberglass or plastic resin for the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.
