Ray Eames was an American architect. She studied painting in New York and married in 1941 Charles Eames. After designing wooden stretchers and splints, Herman Miller manufactures furniture designed by the Eames.

Even if the creative power of the couple is recognized, Ray is often omitted in their common work. One of the most famous pieces of their work is the Eames Lounge Chair, a modern American interpretation of the club chair.
