Eames LCW Lounge Chair (Lifestyle)
December 5, 2024
The Eames LCW (Lounge Chair Wood), designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1946, is regarded as an iconic piece of mid-century modern furniture. Renowned for its innovative use of molded plywood, the LCW combines a minimalist and organic design that seamlessly blends art and functionality.
The LCW is constructed from separate curved plywood panels for the seat, backrest, and legs, connected by rubber shock mounts that provide flexibility and comfort. Eames perfected the technique of bending and shaping plywood during World War II while crafting splints for the U.S. Navy.
The LCW is an icon of American design, celebrated for its timeless style, ergonomic form, and influence on modern furniture aesthetics.
