CHARLES AND RAY EAMES Charles and Ray Eames are considered the most influential designers of the 20th century. The husband and wife team are best known for their groundbreaking contributions to architecture, furniture design, industrial design and manufacturing, and the photographic art. Charles, an architect and Ray, a painter, married in 1941 and moved to California where they continued their furniture design work with moulding plywood. In 1948, Herman Miller began producing the Eameses’ moulded plywood furniture. Their moulded plywood chair (DCM) is considered the best design of the 20th century.
Herman Miller, Inc., continues to produce the Eameses iconic furniture today. WHAT TO LOOK FOR DESIGN: Authentic Eames furniture should not have any visible bolts or screws going through the plywood. BRAND MARKINGS: There is not one universal logo sticker common to all authentic items but most real pieces will have a sticker on the bottom featuring the iconic Herman Miller logo in some variation. MATERIALS: In 1991, Herman Miller discontinued its use of rosewood in favour of cherry wood, walnut, ash and palisander. Miller also uses 200 different types of leather.
