Designers Charles and Ray Eames established their long and legendary relationship with Herman Miller in 1946 with their boldly original molded plywood chairs. The aesthetic integrity, enduring charm, and comfort of the chairs earned them recognition from Time magazine as The Best Design of the 20th Century. Time called the design "something elegant, light and comfortable. Much copied but never bettered." (A locomotive came in second.)

This 291/2"-high molded plywood chair has natural face veneers, hardwood inner plies, and a 5-ply seat and back. It has a polished chrome-plated 4-leg base and self-leveling nylon glides.

In September 1940 Ray began studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where she met Charles, marrying him the following year. Settling in Los Angeles, California, they would lead an outstanding career in design and architecture. Ray died in Los Angeles in 1988, ten years to the day after Charles.
