Plywood Group Lounge Chair
LCW
Price starting from € 1.730,00*
*Price valid for the LCW version with base, backrest and seat in natural ashwood (cod. 210 551 00).
Born in 1946 by the creative genius of Charles & Ray Eames, Plywood is characterized by a simple and modern design, the result of joints that aim to favor the maximum comfort of the body and the relaxation of the back. The LCW model differs from the other models available for the upper body and wooden base, fixed together with shock absorbing supports. The design value of the Plywood Group armchair lies in the experimentation made by the designers whose intent was to devise new industrial techniques to produce three-dimensionally modeled plywood seat shells capable of adapting to the shapes of the human body. Thanks to its success, Plywood has become an icon of its genre. Among the variants, we mention the Plywood Group LCM with metal structure.

Swiss by birth, Vitra is a unique company in many ways. Unique in its home collections, light and colorful; unique in its office furnishings, which combine in a masterful implementation design and ergonomics; unique for the designer parterre that enriches its catalog. Among prestigious historical re-enactments and fruitful collaborations, Vitra has always had the ability to relive the past and project to the future. However, Vitra is unique above all for Rolf Fehlbaum's corporate address, where the company transcends the business to fulfill wider social and cultural functions: the creation of a unique project such as Vitra Campus and the annexed Vitra Design Museum is an example.Read more
Designed by
Charles & Ray Eames
Charles (1907-1978) and Ray (1912-1988) Eames were the most important American designers of the 20th century. Couple in work and in life, they met at the Cranbrook Academy of Art directed by Eliel Saarinen. And it was with Eero Saarinen, son of Eliel and his close friend, that the young Charles took his first steps in the world of design, while Ray - trained as a painter - took care of the graphic presentation of their installations. Multifaceted talents, they also dealt with architecture (the Eames House in Los Angeles, which they designed and where they lived all their lives, is now considered the emblem of the "American home"), photography and cinema. However, it is their furnishings, with their perfect and vaguely organic shapes, that ensure them a place in history. Their creations, pioneering in the use of materials such as fiberglass or curved plywood, were already the protagonists of an exhibition at MoMA in 1946, following which they began to be produced by Herman Miller in the United States. In Europe, the Eames' creations were brought by ICF De Padova, which ceased production in the 1970s, and by Vitra, for which they still remain great bestsellers.Read more
