May marks the start of peak-wedding season. Love is in the air and unions are popping up as quickly as a weeds in the summertime. Here at SmartFurniture, we have been witness to quite the longstanding coupling … a marriage of mid-century one could say. In high-school, they would have been the power-couple. Of course, we are talking about Eames & Nelson. The two last names that represent the design world.

Both design teams valued functionality and solution-based design mentality that spearheaded an entire movement. So let’s take a look at our favorite Eames + Nelson marriages …
