From the earliest records of history, the use of a chair was reserved only for members of royalty or nobility, making it a status symbol for several millennia. It was only during the 16^th century did its symbolism and appearance change dramatically. The chair had become more affordable and available for a greater number of people. Over the next few centuries, with the advancement of technology and discovery of new materials, chairs had also become more comfortable and durable. During these times, it had also become important to recognize the designer as well as the piece. Recognizing the efforts of these designers and their work is important in order to progress and design better chairs for the users. The designers Charles and Ray Eames have helped shape the field of modern furniture design with their piece the Eames Chair.
