How can I spot a real Eames LCW?
The best way to check the authenticity of your Eames LCW chair is to look for the original label, normally found on the underside of the chair. Chairs without a label may be fakes. Central to one of the most groundbreaking material developments for Charles and Ray Eames was their handmade, bicycle-pump-operated machine for molding layers of plywood together. This method would prove the basis for some of the couple’s most admired seats, including the LCW. You can shop a collection of expertly vetted Eames chairs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
