Charles and Ray Eames were very famous American designers. Many of their furniture designs are still around and popular today. They are most famous for the Eames Lounge Chair. The chair is made from molded plywood and leather. It was the first chair they designed for a high end market. The Eameses pioneered fiberglass furniture, plastic resin chairs, and the wire mesh chairs. Charles was the only one that got recognition for his work. It was very obvious that Ray had contributed to Charles work. Charles really supported the idea of Ray getting equal recognition for their work. Not only did they design furniture but they also designed houses, made films, and designed fabrics.

Peer Reviews:
Bailey: I liked how you went into detail about what materials Charles and Ray Eames used for their furniture.
Savannah: I liked how you explained the different color schemes of mid century modernism. I know we briefly talked about it in class.
