Designing Duos

Charles & Ray Eames designed to everything from chairs and buildings to collages and short films. I have one of their chairs and my eyes set on another with ottoman(top right)... that one is gonna take a while though.

Massimo & Lella Vignelli
Quite the handsome couple, no? While Massimo handled 2D design, Lella took 3D. That is the previous New York Metro Map in the bottom right.
Rudy VanderLans & Zuzana Licko

He focused on magazine layouts. She handled type design. Together, the founder and co-founder(respectively) of Emigre, illustrated genius. This is no opinion, merely one of the basic axiom on which we exist. Also, the handling of their photograph is a perfect descrtion of their work.
New-comers, Claire & Olivier, were recently posted on Newstoday. They are my new favorite. I love the colors and abstract approach.
