Today, Charles & Ray Eames are best remembered in the objects they left behind. In the colourful curves of the Plastic Collection. Or the soft folds of their beloved Lounge Chair. Beloved for timeless appeal and distinct mid-century optimism, they promise to add comfort and story wherever they’re placed.
