Charles and Ray Eames‘ Eames® Molded Plywood Lounge Chair

今天要介绍的是由Charles and Ray Eames，Eames夫妇设计，Herman Miller出品的Molded Plywood Lounge Chair。这款简称为LCW（for Lounge Chair Wood）的椅子被时代周刊誉为20世纪最好的设计之一。这款椅子由机器将薄木板热压加工制成曲面。这样的曲面为用户提供了一个十分舒适的体验。这款椅子也成了Herman Miller最具代表性的设计之一。

Hailed by Time magazine as the Best Design of the 20th Century, the iconic LCW or “Lounge Chair Wood” began as an experiment in the Eameses’ apartment, where they were molding plywood in what they called the “Kazam! Machine.” The machine pressed thin sheets of wood veneer against a heated membrane that was inflated by a bicycle pump. Humble beginnings for what would become one of the world’s most widely recognized and highly coveted chairs. Low-slung, with an expertly crafted molded seat and back (no bike pumps are used today), this chair cradles you in a comfortable position while rubber shock mounts buffer against jarring movement. This original is an authentic product of Herman Miller®, Inc. Eames is a licensed trademark of Herman Miller.
