Plywood LCW Lounge Chair is designed by Charles & Ray Eames for Vitra with back and seat in moulded ash plywood, natural, red or black stained finish. Base in moulded plywood with a finish that matches the colour of the seat shells. Seat and backrest attached to the base with shock mounts (bonded rubber and metal connectors).
The Plywood Group chairs are available in the versions DCW (Dining Chair Wood) and LCW (Lounge Chair Wood) with a wooden base or DCM (Dining Chair Metal) and LCM (Lounge Chair Metal) with a base in chrome-plated tubular steel. The lounge chairs are available without upholstery or in a lightly upholstered version with a calfskin or leather cover.
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 chair tops with different bases. Thanks to the organic shape of the plywood shells and the slightly flexible backrests, these light and compact chairs are extremely comfortable – also in the versions without upholstery.
