Husband-and-wife designers Charles and Ray Eames' now ubiquitous fiberglass chairs are the product of a years-long effort to design a low-cost, mass-produced, modern chair with single piece for the seat and back. This versatile chair was equally useful in cafeterias, auditoriums, lounge areas or meeting spaces and could be stacked vertically or connected side-by-side to create rows.
