Vitra Eames Plywood Group LCW

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.
