The Eames LCW (Lounge Chair Wood), designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1946, is one of the most iconic seating designs of the 20th century. Crafted from moulded plywood with a warm walnut veneer, it showcases the Eameses’ innovative use of materials and sculptural form.
Lightweight yet durable, the LCW offers a surprisingly comfortable sit, with its contoured seat and backrest set at a relaxed lounge angle on rubber shock mounts.
It made its public debut at the Museum of Modern Art in 1946, where it caught the eye of Herman Miller’s design director, George Nelson.
Named the best design of the 20th century by Time magazine.
Condition
Used, in good condition with minor signs of wear. Some natural wood grain variations and small surface marks consistent with use. Walnut is a natural material, so variations in grain and colour and a gentle patina from age are part of its character, not defects.
Ideal for
Living rooms, reading nooks, studios and bedrooms, as well as reception areas, hotel lobbies and collectors of authentic mid-century design.
