Studio

The studio was the Eameses’ creative space, where they experimented with furniture, filmmaking, graphic design, architecture, and new materials. From plywood and fiberglass furniture to photography and films, the space reflects their constant curiosity and spirit of experimentation. Always "meeting the need," the studio has also functioned as a guest quarters for visiting friends and family, the Foundation's offices, an exhibition space, and Ray Eames's bedroom after Charles's passing. Today, the ground floor is publicly accessible, offering a glimpse into the creative work that was inextricable from life here at the Eames House.
