These two are my favourite designers. They're just amazing. I love that they worked as a couple (Ray is a woman, and his wife). Responsible for championing moulded plywood- revolutionary at the time, they're heavily influenced by Saarinen but created pieces that were truly new.
I also love the idea of working in a collective of amazing creative minds, and the Eames' worked hard to create that, and they didn't just stop at furniture- creating incredible exhibitions, films and photography.
I also love Parker furniture and Scandinavian mid-century design - clean lines, wood and pure simplicity. One day, I'll own these things... but until then we have some Eames chairs at my office. I like to sit in them at every available opportunity.
