Artistic, innovative, and observant, Ray Eames was a saver and collector of things that inspired her — and needed those things to surround her as she worked, as evidenced by her desk at the Eames Office (above, shot in 1976). Get a glimpse at several spaces that take a page out of Ray’s book and showcase the many items that motivate their occupants during the workday.


Every inch of the wall above the desk in the home office of interior designer Laura Clayton Baker contains photos, magazine pages, postcards, and random pieces of artwork. (Photo: Laura Clayton Baker)


The Portland, OR, space of illustrator, teacher, and book author Kate Bingaman-Burt displays an eclectic mix of drawings, art, posters, paper cut-outs, and plants. (Photo: Kate Bingaman-Burt)


Art, books, and neat stacks of papers make up the Venice, CA-based home office of Scott Flora and Jerinne Neils, co-founders of wall graphics company Blik. (Photo: Blik)


The workspace occupied by Brian Haines, Alejandra Abad, Natasha Maria Fernandez-Fountain, and Bruno Torquato — otherwise known as design studio and collaborative One by Four — has walls and windows filled with creativity and color. (Photo: One by Four)


Materials and tools for art, design, and illustration projects take over the work surfaces at Logical Art, a creative design studio in London founded by Yoo-kyung Shin and Hanhsi Chen. (Photo: Logical Art)
