Product description
Designed in 1946 by Charles and Ray Eames, the LCW remains one of the most influential furniture designs of the 20th century. Praised for its innovative use of molded plywood and sculptural form, the LCW perfectly embodies the Eameses' vision of comfort through simplicity and craftsmanship.
The LCW (short for Lounge Chair Wood) was part of the Eameses' groundbreaking plywood experiments of the 1940s, combining ergonomics and elegance in a way that redefined modern furniture. Manufactured by Herman Miller, each chair is a testament to craftsmanship and innovation, described by Time magazine as "the best design of the 20th century." Even today, it remains a benchmark for comfort, proportion, and organic form, a piece that continues to inspire generations of designers and collectors.
This original 1950s piece, produced by Herman Miller, features beautifully aged, black-stained wood with a subtle, natural patina that enhances its warmth and authenticity. The seat and backrest retain their graceful, sculpted contours, while the plywood's subtle sheen testifies to decades of careful conservation. Structurally solid and aesthetically rich, the chair embodies the timeless harmony of material, technique, and form.
The LCW is a true design classic, equally at home as a collector's item and a functional centerpiece in a refined interior. It embodies the effortless elegance and human-centered design philosophy that characterizes the work of Charles and Ray Eames.
The chair is in very good vintage condition, with a beautiful patina and only minimal signs of wear commensurate with its age.
