Charles and Ray Eames were an American couple of industrial designers who made a significant contribution to the development of modern architecture and design. The couple gave expression to the post-war American social movements, shaping their design around the needs of society. Their works, in fact, were meant to be accessible to everyone and were made using simple materials and lines. Among their best-known design pieces are the Eames Lounge Chair and the Eames Dining Chair, still available on the market today and internationally recognized.
