description:
Molding thin sheets of lightweight veneer into gently curved shapes gives the hard material a soft, inviting appearance. The LCW chairs are now offered with birch veneer in new finish colours (red, green, orange, black, light blue, white and yellow); these environmentally friendly aniline stains allow the wood's natural characteristics to show through. Natural cherry, walnut and light ash finishes continue to be available.

notes:
Important: Avoid placement in direct sunlight.

In the early 1940s, when Charles Eames was working on MGM set designs, he would return to the small apartment where he and his wife, Ray, were experimenting with wood-molding techniques that would have profound effects on the design world. Their discoveries led to a commission from the U.S. Navy in 1942 to develop plywood splints, stretchers, and glider shells molded under heat and pressure.
