How is the Eames LCW (Lounge Chair Wood) made?
The Eames LCW (Lounge Chair Wood) is made with plywood and designed to mold to the human body and provide the utmost comfort. The chair is not upholstered because it’s already comfortable. Rubber shock mounts are glued to the chair to create a seamless look without the use of bolts and screws. Shop a selection of Eames LCW chairs on 1stDibs.
