- 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.

- 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 Zenaloy Rocker, circa 1950-1967 - 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.

- 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.
