Charles Eames was born in St.
Louis, Missouri in 1907. Ray Kaiser Eames was born in Sacramento, California in
1912. They met at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan and were married in
1941. They moved together to California and continued their design work they
began together at Cranbrook. A commission, which they acquired from the
government during WWII to produce molded plywood splints and stretchers,
launched a career producing iconic mid-century modern furnishings which are
still fresh and sought after today. The Eames and their association with Herman
Miller were the partnership of the century. If you want to learn more about
Charles and Ray please visit Eames Office, the Eames Official website.
Herman Miller started life as
Star furniture Co. in Zeeland, Michigan in 1905 a producer of high-quality
furniture. Becoming Michigan Star Furniture Co in 1919, and then in 1923, when
long time employee Dirk Jan De Pree and his father-in-law purchased 51% of the
company stock, it was renamed Herman Miller Furniture Company. And remained so
until the 1960s when it became Herman Miller, Inc. Until the 1930s they
produced only traditional wood furniture, but the Great Depression caused a
need for change, and they hired modernist Gilbert Rohde who took the company in
a new successful direction. Upon Rohde’s death in 1944 he was replaced by none
other than the renowned George Nelson. Working with the likes of not only
Charles and Ray Eames but Isamu Noguchi, Alexander Girard, and Robert Propst,
to name just a few, Nelson led Herman Miller to became one of the finest names
in furniture and design.
Charles and Ray Eames had the vision of making a better
world. One in which things were designed to bring pleasure into our lives. This
table can do that for you! Don’t wait… Make it YOURS!!!!
