After many experiments with moulded plywood Charles and Ray Eames developed in 1945/46 their Plywood Group, a group which also includes the LCW and the LCW Leather, chairs which today are marketed by Vitra. Designed to conform to the shape of the human body in as natural a sitting position as possible, the Vitra Eames chairs thus enable a pleasant and relaxing seating experience. With their low cut form the deep LCW chairs are not only visually reminiscent of a traditional lounge chair, but also allow for a similar seating experience. Standing on four curved feet the Vitra chair is as stable as it is relaxing, and that with or without the high-quality leather upholstery.

Bora Hong - Cosmetic Surgery Kingdom @ VOLUME Gallery Berlin

...Transferring her research into contemporary attitudes on cosmetic surgery from the animate to the inanimate world Bora Hong created a series of "Eames LCW" chairs from reassembled fragments of abandoned and forgotten "normal" chairs...
