Luxury Life & Style - (Page 21) GALLERY Eames Molded Plywood Chair hile working for MGM and living in Hollywood in the early 1940s, Charles Eames began experimenting with woodmolding techniques that would leave a lasting impact on the design world. Commissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1942 to develop splints, stretchers, and glider shells that could mold under heat and pressure, his discoveries were put to a practical use. It wasn’t until after World War II that his technology would be adapted to inexpensive, mass-produced, high-quality chairs. His simplified designs would revolutionize the modern furniture world and create a legend. The Eames Molded Plywood Chair is often called the “most famous chair of the century.” In addition to its popularity in generations of contemporary homes, the chair is part of the permanent collection at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Designed to fit the body’s contours, the low-slung classic cradles with comfort and ease. Thin and lightweight, the chair and its molded plywood legs provide durable support, and natural rubber shock mounts absorb movement. In honor of the 100th anniversary of Charles Eames’s birth, Herman Miller will reintroduce the chair in the original birch veneer with eight new finish colors. The chair in red ash (pictured) is available at Design Within Reach, 451 Manhattan Beach, Boulevard, Manhattan Beach. 310-796-1976, dwr.com. • D.E.
