DESIGNED BY: CHARLES & RAY EAMES

Designers Charles and Ray Eames established their long and legendary relationship with Herman Miller in 1946 with their boldly original molded plywood chairs. The aesthetic integrity, enduring charm, and comfort of the chairs earned them recognition from Time magazine as The Best Design of the 20th Century.

Time called the design "something elegant, light and comfortable. Much copied but never bettered." (A locomotive came in second.). The story behind the Eames molded plywood chairs makes clear just how big a role imagination and serendipity play in design. In the early 1940s, when Charles Eames was working on MGM set designs, 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 US Navy to develop plywood splints, stretchers, and glider shells, molded under heat and pressure, that were used successfully in World War II.

Available with metal or wooden legs, upholstered. In Walnut, Natural Cherry, Red Stain, White Ash, Ebony, Santos Palisander.
