Product Details

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
Discovery often takes interesting turns. Consider the shapes Charles and Ray Eames made plywood take. Experimenting in the 1940s with thin sheets of wood veneer formed under heat and pressure, they adapted new technology to furniture making. Sculpting a seat and back to fit the contours of the human body, they designed a truly comfortable chair that’s suitable for businesses and homes. It’s an achievement others have noticed — Time Magazine named it the Best Design of the 20th Century.

The Eames Molded Plywood Chair is available here in the classic lounge chair shape with wood legs, a design known as the LCW.

The Design:

Eames LCW - Molded Plywood Lounge Chair with Wood Legs

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.

Their discoveries led to a commission from the U.S. Navy in 1942 to develop plywood splints, stretchers, and glider shells molded under heat and pressure.

After World War II, they adapted the technology to create inexpensive, high-quality chairs that could be mass-produced. The process eliminated the extraneous wood needed to connect the seat with the back, which reduced the weight and visual profile of the chair and established a basis for modern furniture design. The chair is in the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Distinctive Design
- Five-ply seat and back
- A comfortable addition to a living room, lounge, or waiting area
- Natural face veneers and hardwood inner plies (one of the sheets of veneer that are glued together to make plywood)
- Wood legs are gently curved
A Shape that Sits Well
- Sculpted form with a gently curved shape gives the hard material a soft, inviting appearance
- Molded shape is designed to comfortably fit the body
- Natural rubber shock mounts absorb movement
Colorful Options
- The chairs are offered with birch veneer in eight new finish colors (Red, Green, Orange, Purple, Black, Light Blue, White, and Yellow)
- Stains allow the wood's natural characteristics to show through
- Cherry, Walnut, Natural Ash, Red-stained Ash, or Ebony-stained Ash choices also available

Width: 22”"

Emily from Dallas, TX	4.0 1/3/2012 Great chair but color is not consistent I purchased 2 Eames plywood chairs in walnut and they are very comfortable and stylish but the color is drastically different on the 2 chairs. I understand there is natural variation but would have preferred if they were closer in color. Was this helpful? Yes / No
gte445e from Dallas, TX	5.0 2/24/2011 I love these chairs Product Review Pros Comfortable, seat is molded to your body Stylish Cons Jealous friends Service Review I ordered two chairs however they came with only one certificate of authenticity, I do not know if this is normal. I searched the shipping boxes with the delivery people however we could only find one. Was this helpful? Yes / No
pigonstick from New Jersey	5.0 2/20/2011 Great Chair This is a classic. You won't get tired of it. It is a lot more comfortable then you think it will be. The quality is excellent. You can arrange it as a single chair by itself or pair 2 together. It looks great in either way. And it is so light that you can move them around everyday. Was this helpful? Yes / No
Sidsel from New York, NY	5.0 9/12/2010 Loving it Product Review It's beautiful to look at, and almost surprisingly comfortable as a lounge chair, given that there is no padding Service Review Delivery was confusing, the delivery date ranges kept on changing, and all of a sudden it was shipped a month earlier than scheduled (but a month later than first scheduled), which was inconvenient, as I was out of town Was this helpful? Yes / No
Arty Russo from Chicago, il	5.0 8/1/2009 Awesome product! [...] Was this helpful? Yes / No
Andersonville Resident from Chicago IL	5.0 7/24/2009 Perfect for apartment living I have a pair of these in the living room; they look great, have a low profile, and are amazingly comfortable. Was this helpful? Yes / No
RN from Tucson	5.0 12/6/2008 Classic Post Modern Design Classic post modern design. Extremely comfortable. A showcase piece. Just hope my children don't sell it in a garage sale for $5! Was this helpful? Yes / No
na from boulder co	5.0 11/22/2008 extremely content in our main living area. the design is simple and doesn't look bulky or take up much space and is surprisingly comfortable. everyone that comes over and hasn't sat in an eames lcw before is surprised how comfortable it is and what great back support it gives you.[...]thanks if i need anything we will definitely buy from you again. Was this helpful? Yes / No
