Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
Eames Shell Chairs
For Every Need, in Every Way, for Everyone
The inspiration that compelled Charles and Ray Eames to design a comfortable chair with a one-piece seat-and-back shell first struck in 1939, when Charles and Eero Saarinen began experimenting with molded plywood at Cranbrook Academy of Art. It remained strong as Charles and Ray worked on the idea from the Eames Studio. It was finally realized in 1950 with the introduction of the Eames Shell Chair. Decades later, it remains a simple, gracious expression of the Eames desire to make “the best for the most for the least.”
