Contemporary Furniture Heroes: Charles Eames
So far as contemporary furniture design is concerned, few names are more synonymous with this field than that of Charles Eames and he is rightly considered as one of the very best in the business courtesy of his wide range of eclectic and stylish contemporary furniture. Although, whilst Charles Eames is regularly seen as a sole designer of furniture, he actually worked principally alongside his wife, Ray, to create some of the most impressive pieces of contemporary furniture for which he is most famed.The type of furniture created by Eames is highly distinctive and his styles are regularly replicated by bespoke furniture retailers today and this is testament to the popularity and universality of his pieces in a career which spanned over four decades. He was born in America in 1907 and went on to craft some of the most eye-catching chairs to ever have hit the market both at their time of working and today.Let’s take a look a look at some of the most memorable contemporary furniture designed by Charles Eames and his wife below:
Tuesday’s Tips: Use floating shelves & cabinets to create a desk in small spaces…

Or you can simple use a lucite dining table…in the middle of the living room as a way to get work done. Sometimes desks are big enough for what we need to do. Some of us like things to spread out all around us to spark creativity. It’s a method to one’s madness so feel free to use a table that’s suitable for your needs despite the table’s intended purpose. See here how a guy makes his dining table double as his home workspace & see here how a room intended for dining got transformed into a home office…
Tuesday’s Tips: Remove built in shelves to create laptop desk area
If you have built in shelving and don’t really have the floor room to put a desk, try removing shelves and using one as a desk space.
