Charles and Ray

In 1955, Charles and Ray designed The Coloring Toy to encourage children and adults alike to explore “a world of color, drawing, shapes and play.” You can do the same with this portrait of the couple, lovingly drawn by Jim Stoten.

Toy Mask

The first toy that Charles and Ray designed for mass production was a series of animal masks for children. Though these masks were short-lived, they continued to show up as props in the photography and films the couple produced over the years.

Carton City

The shipping cartons for Eames Storage Units were originally designed with dotted cut lines and came with instructions for converting the box into a playhouse. As a promotion, the Eames Office even set some up in a nearby parking lot to create a mini neighborhood.

My Eames Elephant

As part of their plywood molding experiments, Charles and Ray designed a series of animals for children. The most beloved of these was the Eames Elephant. The Eames Office created a print-ready template you can use to decorate and build your very own.
