Charles Eames (1907-78) and Ray Eames (1912-88) gave shape to America's twentieth century. Their lives and work represented the nation's defining social movements: the West Coast's coming-of-age, the economy's shift from making goods to the producing information, and the global expansion of American culture. The Eameses embraced the era's visionary concept of modern design as an agent of social change, elevating it to a national agenda. Their evolution from furniture designers to cultural ambassadors demonstrated their boundless talents and the overlap of their interests with those of their country. In a rare era of shared objectives, the Eameses partnered with the federal government and the country's top businesses to lead the charge to modernize postwar America.

The copy above is taken from the http address pasted above as said author should be credited with all information in this paragraph. The above website has myriad information showing the impact and importance the visions of the Eames brothers had on American design and inventing. They were truly visionaries that should be included in Wikipedia, in fact if they were alive, they would have great reverence for the fantastic tool that is Wikipedia and what a privelage it is to have this tool.
