Designer: Ray and Charles Eames, 1946
In the early 1940s, when Charles Eames was working on MGM set designs,
he would return to the small apartment where he and his wife, Ray, were
experimenting with wood-molding techniques that would have profound
effects on the design world.
After World War II, they adapted the technology to create inexpensive,
high-quality chairs that could be mass-produced. Their relationship with
Herman Miller started with molded plywood chairs in the
late 1940s and includes this world-renowned Eames lounge chair, now in
the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The Eames Molded Plywood LCW Chair features a striking scuplted form
created by molding thin sheets of lightweight veneer into gently curved
shapes that give the hard material a soft, inviting appearance. The natural
contours of the seat and back are designed to comfortably fit the body.
Constructed of natural face veneers and maple inner plies with a 5-ply
seat and back and 8-ply legs. The chairs are offered with birch veneer in
seven new finish colors (red, green, orange, black, light blue, white satin,
and yellow); these environmentally friendly aniline stains allow the wood's
natural characteristics to show through. Also still available natural cherry,
walnut, or light ash.
Dimensions: 26.5"h x 22"w x 24.25"d, seat height 15.5"
