One is often tempted to view the partnership of Charles and Ray Eames as a happy creative union and credit all their work to both. In fact, Charles Eames preferred to describe himself as the designer of all Eames furniture. It is true, however, that the shape of the furniture was strongly influenced by abstract art and that, quite possibly, the agent of this influence was abstract artist Ray Eames. Ray Eames is believed to have been the author of all ornaments created in the Eames office. Ray Eames did not share her husband’s passion for computers and mathematics. From the mid-1960s, the Eames office was mostly focused on exhibition design, and Ray rarely took part. It should also be remembered that the office employed a large team of talented designers (Harry Bertoia among them). The role of the aides may have been quite significant.
