It will stay with you for your whole life and outlast you, to be passed on to the next generation. Swiss design house Vitra is the only company authorised to manufacture Charles & Ray Eames products for Europe: if you own an Eames product manufactured by Vitra, you can be sure it’s an original. Charles and Ray Eames are two of the most important designers of the 20th century. Their work includes furniture design, film and photography as well as exhibition design. During lots of tests carried out over many years, Charles and Ray Eames were looking for new techniques to best adapt the three-dimensional moulded glued laminated timber to the silhouette of the human body. The Plywooden Group chairs are iconic designs by Charles and Ray Eames that date from the period of their first experiences with three-dimensional moulded plywood. They have become classics, having lost nothing of their relevance to this day. Within the Plywooden Group, they have combined the seats and backs with different bases. Thanks to the organic shape of the plywooden shells and the slightly flexible backrests, these light, compact chairs are very comfortable – even the versions without padding. The seat and back of the chairs are connected to the base by flexible rubber connectors that adapt to the position of the body. Due to the slim organic shapes of its seat and back shells, the Plywooden Group chair quickly acquired the nickname the „potato chip chair“.
