It's the most popular and trending style right now, and understandably! While we all love Mid-Century pieces, many of us don't realize that they stem from one of the hottest power couples of our time! Charles and Ray Eames created a style completely their own, which transpired into the style of an entire country.
Charles and Ray are the King and Queen of Mid-Century Modern style, exceeding beyond just furniture to architecture, industrial design and manufacturing, and photographic arts. They were creative and progressive, exactly the traits we admire in power couples.
Their furniture design focused on the concept of FUNCTIONALISM.
"Rectangle about to turn into an oval, the transformation being arrested at a point midway between."
This couple created some of the most recognizable pieces of furniture for our modern age. They've become so incredibly popular that their designs became widely copied, making it much more difficult now to find a true original, but proving how influential two people can be on an entire culture. The Eames' looked at things a little different than the rest of us...
Ray and Charles were progressive and creative. They invented a style that has transformed how we even look at furniture.
If anyone is looking for a role model, search no further. This couple managed a marriage, a company and a country together. The ultimate power couple if there ever was one. They've taught us to constantly move forward with progressive thinking and creating. Here's a shot of Ray's workspace..
Thank you, Ray & Charles. You've created a lifestyle that many of us can only aspire to, but we appreciate yall at the top. :)
