Eames Molded Wood Chair

The Eames Molded Wood Side Chair realizes the Eameses’ decades-long effort to make a single-form wood shell chair. This design was born out of Charles’s early investigations molding plywood at Cranbrook Academy with Eero Saarinen in 1939, which he then continued with Ray at the Eames studio in Venice, California.

Exemplary of the Eameses’ iterative process and their desire to make “the best for the most for the least,” the Eames Molded Wood Side Chair’s single-shell form is the result of a process that gives wood veneer the extra flexibility it needs to be molded into the complex curves, making it a warm, authentic and elegant dining chair option for any space. This authentic form is achieved with the help of today’s 3-D veneer technology, a process that gives wood veneer the extra flexibility it needs to be molded into single-shelled complex curves.
