Vitra Eames Plywood Group LCW Black Ash

Moulded from multiple layers of thin plywood that is then steam pressed together, the organic shape of these durable back and seat shells has a light and flexible quality. Each piece is formed to the natural contours of the body with a gentle recline that provides an extremely comfortable sit. For the base, curving strips of plywood have been bent to simply screw together forming a support frame and legs that has plenty of give. Alongside models with no upholstery, the Eames's also designed versions with cowhide covers - the beautiful brown and white hide rests on a thin wedge of foam to provide additional padding and support.
