Charles & Ray Eames
Shaping for the body
Charles (1907–1978) and Ray Eames (1912–1988) stand among the most influential designers of the 20th century — visionaries who transformed modern living through form, function, and play. Their work defined an era and continues to inform how we think about design today.
In the 1940s, amid wartime constraints and technological exploration, the duo pioneered a method that fused innovation with empathy: molded plywood, sculpted through pressure, heat, and grace.
Their iconic creations are not static forms but dynamic anatomies. Each curve is calculated not for style, but for sensation. Material, once rigid and industrial, becomes supple and sensuous — a medium capable of embracing the human form without excess or ornament.
In their hands, design becomes an act of care. Their pieces do not follow trends; they transcend them. They are micro-architectures — democratic, functional, and deeply human.
RARE. curates these modern relics — where material intelligence meets comfort, and every curve speaks the language of timeless form. Discover the collection of Eames at RARE.
