About Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity

​The Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the legacy of 20th-century designers Ray and Charles Eames. Over the course of their decades-long partnership, the husband and wife duo approached design as a tool for problem-solving and discovery—driven by curiosity, refined through iteration, and always guided by purpose. Their work was wide-ranging, spanning furniture, architecture, film, exhibition design and more, with every project grounded in rigor, joy, and a meticulous commitment to make things better.
