42-FI, Molded Plywood Dining Chair Wood Base (DCW) - Inspired by Ray & Charles Eames (Sold in sets of 2)
The Eames Molded Plywood Dining Chair, introduced in 1946, represents one of Charles and Ray Eames’ most significant achievements in material innovation and modern furniture design. What began as an experiment in their home studio evolved into a groundbreaking approach to shaping wood, creating a chair that combined industrial production with organic form and human comfort.
Dimensions
Overall: 19.75"W × 20.5"D × 30.75"H
Seat Height: 18.5"
Featuring a low profile, sculpted plywood seat and backrest, the chair was designed to support the body naturally while maintaining a remarkable sense of lightness. Flexible rubber shock mounts connect the components, allowing the chair to move subtly with the user while providing lasting comfort.
Known for its remarkably thin molded plywood surfaces, the design was affectionately nicknamed the “potato chip chair” after its introduction. Decades later, its influence was recognized when Time magazine named it one of the most important designs of the twentieth century.
A true icon of modernism, the Molded Plywood Dining Chair continues to represent the Eames philosophy of innovation, simplicity and timeless design.
