Designer Charles Eames was born #OnThisDay in 1907 🎈 Together with his wife Ray, Charles Eames formed one of the most influential design partnerships of the 20th century, creating work that continues to inspire designers today. In 1957, the pair created the Solar Do-Nothing Machine, a solar-powered toy for the Aluminium Company of America. Designed to highlight the potential of the sun as a sustainable, renewable energy source, the playful machine featured colourful elements that spun and twirled when exposed to sunlight. The project is now considered one of the earliest examples of solar-powered design, demonstrating the Eameses' enduring fascination with innovation, technology and the future.
