Charles and Ray Eames
Case Study House #8
Issue Date: June 17, 2008
City: Santa Monica, CA
In 1941, Charles and Ray Eames married and moved to California. There, the couple designed and built their first home in Pacific Palisades.
As the many veterans returned after World War II, houses were in short supply. Art & Architecture magazine challenged a group of modern architects to find creative solutions to the problem with new designs “capable of duplication... using war-born materials.” In their Case Study House Program, Art & Architecture constructed twenty-five of the thirty-five houses designed. Charles and Ray Eameses’ Case Study House #8 was considered the most successful of the designs. Spacious and sophisticated, the modern house was built mostly from stock catalog products. Featuring two rectangular boxes connected by a patio, the house offered a place to live and work in touch with nature. It featured a grid work of steel beams that divided colored squares and clear glass. The Eameses moved into the house on Christmas Eve 1949, and lived there the rest of their lives. Now owned by the Eames Foundation, it continues to draw people from around the world.
In 2008, the Eames Case Study House #8 was featured on a 42¢ stamp, one of a pane of 16 issued by the U.S. Postal Service to honor the contributions of Charles and Ray Eames to American design.
