This chair is the result of the first experiments carried out by Charles and Ray Eames in 1945 on the molding of plywood.
It was described as “aesthetic brilliance and technical inventiveness” by Eliot Noyes, director of the industrial design department at MoMA in 1946.
Created by molding plywood, it was designed to provide optimal comfort to as many people as possible. The Eameses studied the structure of the bones of the human body in order to perfect their casting.
Modeled and tested hundreds of times, the final chair has two parts: the back and the petal-shaped seat.
The LCW (Lounge Chair Wood) is produced by Herman Miller in the United States and licensed by Vitra in Europe.
Thanks to the organic lines of the shells and the slightly flexible backrests, these light and compact living room armchairs are extremely comfortable.

Charles and Ray Eames are a couple of emblematic designers of the 20th century. Very ahead of their time, they contributed to the democratization of designer furniture for the general public, in particular thanks to the invention of new industrial manufacturing techniques allowing mass production.
We owe them many emblematic design pieces from the 1950s and 60s combining comfort and ergonomics: the famous Lounge Chair, the DCW chair (Dining Chair Wood) or the armchair RAR (Rocking Armchair Rodbase).
