It is often noted that Charles and Ray Eames advocated the principles of Modernism through the adaptation of innovation from wartime technology. Undoubtedly, Charles and Ray Eames were pioneers who gave shape to America’s 20th century through the pursuit of industrialization, including their influence in the process of prefabricated mass production and residential construction. Their lives and work are significant not only due to their innovative furniture but also because of the internationalization and global expansion of American culture through their contributions to architecture, film, and industrial and graphic design.</p> ER -
