Perhaps you've heard of architect Charles Eames. He and his second wife, Bernice Alexandra "Ray" Kaiser, were influential Los Angeles-based designers who created furniture, toys, textiles, exhibitions and instructional films. If the name isn't familiar, you've likely come across their work. The Eames molded fiberglass shell chair is a midcentury modern design staple and it's a good bet that you've sat in one or one very much like it.
