We are pleased to invite Brick & Wonder Pro & Council members to a private tour of the Eames Archives in Richmond, CA

In July 2026, the Eames Institute dramatically expanded the Archives, offering visitors unprecedented access to never-before-exhibited objects and ephemera from the work and personal lives of Charles and Ray Eames.

Among them: the public’s first view of the couple’s legendary toy collection, a previously unknown prototype of the Eames lounge chair and ottoman, the Eames Office’s original reference library reinstalled, and a new Work Gallery tracing their molded plywood experiments from the Organic Chair that started it all through projects for IBM, Herman Miller, and Vitra.
