Schtickers Inspiration Friday: Ray & Charles Eames

Since we already showcased a great quote from Charles Eames on Monday, we figured… what better designers to feature for an overall inspiration post? (In case you hadn’t noticed by this point, we’re pretty much obsessed with Eames at the Schtickers Headquarters. There’s nothing anyone can do to save us… but we don’t want to be saved, anyway.)

Ray and Charles Eames were a husband and wife team. We thought that was important to mention, because of the ambiguous nature of the name Ray, many people think they were brothers… nope, married couple! The Eames were so incredibly influential in numerous facets of the art and design world. These days they are probably best remembered for making huge strides in modern architecture and furniture design. Whether you realize it or not, you’ve undoubtedly enjoyed sitting in an Eames chair in a restaurant or office around town…

And let’s not forget the amazing Case Study House #8, aka the Eames House, which is now a National Historic Landmark. Wow.

Actually, we were very inspired by the documentary 901: After 45 Years of Working (a film about the Eames offices) when we were moving into our lovely space.

The Eames produced such an outstanding breadth of work that everyone is bound to have different favorites. So what are you most impressed by? What did they accomplish that inspires you? Let us know! We could talk about this stuff forever!
