Charles and Ray Eames were considered to be the most influential designers of the 20th Century. After meeting at the prestigious Cranbrook Academy in Detroit, Charles and Ray Eames tied the knot in 1941. Five years later, Ray and Charles debuted their first molded plywood chair at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Today, Eames Shell Chairs adorn airports, hotels, and office spaces, making them recognizable to even design novices. "
