Ray's desk, 1976
Charles Eames said that 'recognizing the need' is the primary condition for design.
Early in their careers together, Charles and Ray Eames identified the need for affordable, yet high-quality furniture for the average consumer, furniture that could serve a variety of uses. For forty years the Eameses experimented with ways to meet this challenge, designing flexibility into their compact storage units and collapsible sofas for the home, seating for stadiums, airports and schools — and chairs for virtually anywhere.
