- Eames Molded Dining Chair, circa 1950 - Charles and Ray Eames designed this chair in the mid-1940s. Intent on creating practical, durable, and affordable seating, they turned to basic materials such as plywood and steel rod. Its simplicity and strength suggest a pure engineering solution, but its grace and delicate appearance give it a sculptural presence. It also happens to be incredibly comfortable.

- Eames Molded Dining Chair - Husband-and-wife designers Charles and Ray Eames spent years experimenting with plywood in order to create a simple, low-cost, mass-producible chair. However, they found that molding plywood into a single combined seat and back was impractical and costly. They decided to separate the seat and back and used rubber shock mounts and adhesive to attach them. The chair caused a sensation, quickly becoming a symbol of modernism.

- Prototype Eames Fiberglass Chair, circa 1949 - Charles and Ray Eames wanted to design affordable high-quality furniture. To this end, Charles brought a mock-up of a chair to John Wills, a boat builder and fiberglass fabricator, who created two identical prototypes. Charles took one: it became the basis for what would become a modern design icon. This is the other: it lingered in Will's workshop, used over four decades as a utility stool.
