Charles and Ray Eames surrounded themselves in their legendary Eames House with their own designs and an >extensive collection of folk art, as well as other small objects found on their travels, in nature and in everyday life. Almost everything they collected was related to aspects of design and form, as Ray explained: ‚We never collected anything just as collectors, but because something was inherent in the piece that made it seem like a good idea to be looking at. The Eameses organised and decorated their living space with great seriousness and tremendous joy, making the Eames House an ever-changing collage, a reflection of their life.
