INNOVATING WITH PLYWOOD
The Eames LCW was born out of the Eames Office's dedication to exploring the possibilities of molded plywood. The design process led to experimentation with various techniques, including the creation of the "Kazaam" machine, allowing for the intricate shaping of plywood. The breakthrough came when they split the shell into two parts, the seat and back, which revealed the honest use of molded plywood. This lightweight and mass-producible chair represents a landmark achievement in furniture design, embodying the spirit of the post-war era and securing its place as an iconic and celebrated piece of furniture history.
