Design built on innovation<br />
<br />
Discovery often takes interesting turns. Consider the shapes Charles and Ray<br />
Eames made plywood take. Experimenting in the 1940s with thin sheets of wood<br />
veneer formed under heat and pressure, they put their genius to work for the war<br />
effort making splints, stretchers, and glider shells. After the war, they adapted<br />
the technology to furniture making. Sculpting a seat and back to fit the contours<br />
of the human body, they designed a truly comfortable chair that۪s suitable for<br />
businesses and homes. It۪s an achievement others have noticedÛÓTime magazine<br />
named it the Best Design of the 20th Century.<br />
<br />
original shape that sits well<br />
In their search for a better way, Charles and Ray Eames developed an innovative technique<br />
for molding plywood. The process allowed them to bend wood furniture in new directions<br />
and give hard materials a soft appearance. This focus on technology wasn۪t at the expense<br />
of the details:<br />
<br />
Choice ÛÓ both the dining and lounge models have chrome-plated steel or wood legs; the<br />
outer ply is cherry, walnut, natural ash, stained ash, or colorfully stained birch; chrome-plated<br />
steel base is also available.<br />
<br />
Comfort ÛÓ the contours of the molded plywood fit the body۪s shape.<br />
<br />
Durability ÛÓ the plywood has five plies, with hardwood inner plies; natural rubber shock<br />
mounts absorb movement.<br />
