IN-PERSON: Charles and Ray Eames, Design for Life   

**This class will be taught In-Person**

The innovative husband and wife Charles and Ray Eames are best known for their groundbreaking contributions to architecture, furniture design, industrial design, and documentary filmmaking. From their studio in Los Angeles, Charles and Ray developed a design philosophy that continues to resonate with 21st century designers. Their own residence, built in 1949 as part of the Case Study House Program, is considered one of the most important post-war residences anywhere in the world. Their chairs—especially the iconic Eames Lounge chair, designed to have “the warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt”--are still as sought after as ever, embodying modern chic and comfort in equal measure.
