This Day in History: The Powers of 10

"Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world." (Charles Eames)

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Charles Eames and the 20th anniversary of the death of his wife Ray. This iconic husband-and-wife team made incredible contributions during the 20th century to Modern architecture and design. Their vast body of work includes art, architecture, furniture design, industrial design, graphic design, textile design, photography, film-making, and toy-making to name a few!

Charles died in 1978 at the age of 71--Ray died exactly ten years later in 1988 at the age of 75. Their impressive legacy continues to live on.
