Now In Stock: Select Edition Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair

Herman Miller Select by Charles and Ray Eames

Limited edition: 500 chairs. Hide and chic. Dubbed the Best Design of the 20th Century by Time Magazine, the Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair was born out of Charles and Ray Eames' World War II commission from the United States Navy.

Their ingenious process of molding wood veneer into shapes and contours to fit the human form advanced from splints and stretchers to one of the most profound pieces of American postwar design. Originally released in 1946, the Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair is a study in comfort and simplicity. Its signature silhouette lives on in the most discriminating homes and institutions today - including the New York Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.

With the assistance from the Eames Office, Herman Miller presents 500 limited issue Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chairs. This select edition draws on the materials and finishes of early editions - finished in a walnut veneer with a refined cowhide covered seat and back. Each chair is numbered for authenticity and is accompanied by a corresponding signed and numbered print by photographer Nick Merrick of the famed Hedrich Blessing photographic studio.
