• The Eames Lounge Chair is molded by three curved plywood shells. The
• Shells are made with several thin layers of wood veneer adhered
• Together and shaped under heat and pressure. The plywood and cushions
• Are the shaped the same (i.e., composed of two curved forms
• Interlocking to form a solid mass). The head rest and back of the
• Eames Lounger are proportional.

• Charles and Ray Eames were pioneers, constantly looking for new
• Materials for their innovative designs. The couple's first plywood
• Chair - the Eames Lounge Chair Wood (LCW)-used a heavy rubber washer
• Glued to the backrest of the chair and screwed to the lumbar support.
• These 'shock mounts' allow the backrest to flex slightly. This
• Innovation is used in the design of the Eames Lounger. The backrest
• And headrest are screwed together by a pair of aluminum supports. The
• Eames Lounger is suspended on the seat via two connection points in
• The armrests. The armrests are screwed to shock mounts on the interior
• Of the backrest shell, allowing the backrest and headrest to flex when
• The chair is in use. This is part of the Eames' Chairs unusual design.
• The rubber washers are solidly glued to the plywood shells.

• Charles Eames' innovation in material selection is also apparent in
• The seat cushions. Instead of stapled or nailed upholstery, cushions
• Are sewn with a zipper around the outer edge that connects them to a
• Stiff backing. The back is adhered to the shells with hidden clips and
• Rings. This design allows the visible veneer to be unmarred by screws
• Or bolts. The Eames Lounge Chair has a low profile and set to recline.
• The Eames Lounger swivels on a cast aluminum base and has glides that
• Are threaded so that the chair may remain level.

• Chair that was thought up so long ago. To this day, it has a truly
• Distinctive look. Read more about the Eames Lounge Chair's distinctive
