## Caption

Step inside the extraordinary world of Charles and Ray Eames, the iconic husband-wife duo who redefined mid-century modern furniture, architecture, and visual media. In 1973, they welcome cameras into their innovative "1949 Eames House" of prefabricated materials in Pacific Palisades, now a National Historic Landmark. From their revolutionary molded plywood chairs to ground-breaking short films like "Powers of Ten" and "Toccata for Toy Trains," THIRTEEN explores how their creative partnership transformed standard industrial materials into timeless art.

Featuring insights from architects Peter Blake and R. Buckminster Fuller, physicist Philip Morrison, composer Elmer Bernstein, and interviews with Charles and Ray Eames themselves.
