Ray Eames

Ray Eames, a painter by training, worked with her husband Charles on moulded plywood furniture, the Eames Lounge Chair of 1956, exhibitions and films such as Powers of Ten. For decades the work was credited to Charles alone, though he insisted she was an equal partner. Recent scholarship has restored her role in colour, form and composition, making the Eames Office a key example of how joint work gets misremembered.
