# Charles & Ray: Designers at Play: A Story of Charles and Ray Eames - Hardcover

**A playful introduction to the designs of Charles and Ray Eames by Geisel-winning creator James Yang.**

Charles was an architect. Ray was a painter. Together they made the perfect team. By using structure, shape, and color, they knew they could transform anything. And because they saw problem-solving as an adventure, they were able to incorporate playfulness into everything they designed.
