Ray Eames
industrial desiger & painter

Picture
Ray Eames born Bernice Kaiser in 1912 was one half of a design duo that influenced and led mass market furniture production in the 20th century.  In 1940 Ray met Charles Eames while he was working with a new product called plywood.  Ray helped Charles to prepare a molded chair for a competition held by the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art.  Together they won the first and second prizes, as well as each others hearts - they were married in 1941.

Together the pair revolutionized mass produced furniture and brought mid-century modern style into our homes and daily lives.

the 3 1/2 minute video clip below from antiques roadshow reveals a bit of history on the chair designs by Ray and Charles eames

eva zeisel
ceramics designer

Eva Zeisel born in 1906 had a career in ceramic design that spanned over eighty years and brought  clean, casual modernist design into middle-class homes which inspired a fresh and less formal style of living.  
Falsely imprisoned and narrowly escaping the German army and coming to America in 1937, Eva Zeisel lived a remarkable and long life.
