While we think of the Eames' as being Southern California designers, the granddaughter of the couple, who became the heir to their significant collection of prototypes and office memorabilia, is in the Bay Area. She has created, in the former industrial area of Richmond, an archive of the collection. The ticket prices are a bit steep and reservations are needed, but for aficionados and historians of the design epoch they dominated, seeing the origins of their legacy is worth it.
