Vitra - Plywood Group LCW - Lounge Chair - Design Charles and Eames Ray

The small Lounge Chair Wood (LCW) is an iconic design by Charles and Ray Eames that dates from the period of their early experiments with three-dimensionally moulded plywood.

Charles and Ray Eames spent many years experimenting with new techniques for producing three-dimensionally moulded plywood seat shells that conformed to the contours of the human body. They achieved this with the chairs in the Plywood Group, which have matured into classics with an appearance that still looks contemporary today. For the Plywood Group, they also combined the seats and backs with different bases. Thanks to the organic shape of the plywood shells and the slightly flexible backrests, these light and compact chairs offer great comfort – also in the versions without upholstery.
