Seller's Story
The Eames Office:
Founded in the 1940s in Venice, California, the Eames Office is the creative home and design studio of Charles and Ray Eames. It’s where they pioneered molded plywood and fiberglass sculptures, creating enduring icons like the Lounge Chair, DCM, and Eames Chaise — designs that remain warm, functional, and built to last.
Now led by the next generations of the Eames family, it is the custodian of all Eames designs and the founding patron of the Charles & Ray Eames Foundation. It preserves a multidisciplinary legacy spanning furniture, film, architecture, toys, textiles, and more.
