The Innovation of Charles and Ray Eames

In the past few years in the design world, we've seen a significant increase in the applications of modular structures, as shipping containers have been transformed into dwellings, office and studios, and pre-fabricated homes have become more common in communities, neighborhoods, and cities across the globe.
However, the mass production of products began decades ago, and the prolific use of these designs today is a testament to a high level of design ingenuity, as well as a visionary spirit.


This revolutionary change in thinking, design theory and the resulting long-term social and cultural effects can be attributed to the work of Charles and Ray Eames, the well-known husband and wife team who were pioneers in the field of furniture design, as well as icons of mid-century modernism.


That's the topic of discussion for today's guest post at Inspired Design Daily, so make sure to visit and ready the complete entry, as well as view more images of this groundbreaking work.
