The Eames LCW (Lounge Chair Wood), designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1945, represents a pivotal moment in furniture history. Hailed by Time magazine as the “Best Design of the 20th Century,” this molded plywood chair emerged from years of experimentation with bent wood technology—a process the Eameses pioneered during World War II while developing lightweight splints and stretchers for the U.S. Navy.
What makes the LCW revolutionary is its sculptural use of form. The seat, backrest, and base are each individually molded to follow the body’s natural contours, then connected by chrome-plated steel shock mounts that allow subtle flex and movement. The result is a chair that feels organic and supportive, marrying modern industrial techniques with an almost handcrafted warmth.
The LCW’s low profile and bold, sweeping curves make it a statement piece that commands attention from every angle. Its compact footprint and visual lightness allow it to anchor living rooms, bedrooms, or reading nooks without overwhelming the space. This is furniture designed to be appreciated—not just sat in, but experienced as sculpture.
This faithful reproduction honors the original design while employing high-quality molded plywood and chrome finishes to deliver both authenticity and lasting durability.

Design & Comfort
The LCW Chair is defined by its engineered curves. Each component—seat, backrest, and legs—is individually molded from five-layer plywood, shaped under heat and pressure to create compound curves that cradle the body. The gently angled backrest supports the lumbar region, while the contoured seat provides firm yet forgiving support.
Chrome-plated steel shock mounts connect the seat and backrest to the base, allowing the plywood to flex slightly with movement. This gives the chair a responsive, almost springy quality that enhances comfort without compromising structural integrity. The rubber cushioning within the shock mounts also absorbs vibration and prevents direct wood-to-metal contact, preserving the finish over time.
The black plywood finish offers a sleek, contemporary look that highlights the chair’s sculptural form. The smooth veneer surface and visible wood grain add warmth and texture, while the chrome legs provide a refined industrial contrast.
Despite its compact size, the LCW is built for durability. The molded plywood construction resists warping and cracking, and the low center of gravity ensures stability on any surface.
