About
A mid-century classic built for those who value comfort, craft, and restraint. The Eames Molded Plywood Chair distills form to essentials: two sculpted shells, five-ply construction, and shock mounts that flex just enough to feel alive. Designed by Charles and Ray Eames, it earned recognition as “Best Design of the 20th Century” for good reason—light, elegant, and still modern.
Finish options are thoughtful rather than flashy: richly grained birch with aniline stains that let texture breathe, plus natural cherry, walnut, and light ash. Bases come in wood or metal, with black matte or trivalent chrome that reads quieter and more sustainable. Sit down and the contours do the work; the curvature supports without forcing posture, edges feel refined, and the footprint stays minimal for tight spaces.
What makes it timeless is the engineering you notice over time: durable inner hardwood plies, rubber shock mounts that absorb movement, and upholstery choices that add warmth without losing the silhouette. It pairs seamlessly with clean desks, low benches, and airy rooms where details matter more than statements.
