Eames, Charles & Ray — Kontorstol

"EA119", Herman Miller. 1980/90-tallet. Trukket i hvitt skinn. Forkrommet aluminium. CHARLES AND RAY EAMES "The collaboration between Charles and Ray Eames began in 1940. Their oeuvre is best understood as the product of a highly fruitful collaboration between two different personalities whose skills and talents were ideally complementary. They became acquainted while working at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, which had developed into an important centre of American design under Eliel Saarinen, one of its founders. Prior to then, Charles Eames, who was born in 1907 in St. Louis, Missouri, was primarily active as an architect. Ray Eames, born as Bernice Alexandra Kaiser in 1912 in Sacramento, California, had studied art under the German painter Hans Hofmann in New York City and Provincetown during the 1930s. The couple was married in 1941, moved to Los Angeles and established an office together. In almost four decades of collaborative work, they created an amazingly diverse oeuvre comprising many groundbreaking furniture designs, significant works of architecture, exhibitions, films, toys, graphics, textile designs and an immense number of photographs. The Eameses creative work, which has strongly influenced our understanding of design and the role of the designer in modern society, ended with Charles death in 1978. Ray followed him ten years later. Yet the Eameses oeuvre, which embodies their humanist perspectives and visions, has remained permanently relevant and vital." Litteratur: Vitra.
