The Eames® Molded Plywood Lounge Chair is a landmark of twentieth-century design, born from Charles and Ray Eames' experiments with molding plywood into forms that could comfortably support the human body. Introduced in 1946, its low-slung profile pairs a sculpted five-ply seat and back with flexible rubber shock mounts that soften movement and give the chair its distinctive sense of comfort. Available with either the all-wood LCW base or the steel rod LCM base, the design can take on a warmer, more organic expression or a lighter, more architectural one. An extensive selection of wood veneers, stains, base finishes, and optional wool upholstery allows the chair to be tailored to a wide range of interiors while preserving the simple, elegant form that made it an enduring modern classic.
