| The Lounge Chair is the most complex and hard to make of all Eames furniture designs. It appears to be simple but is a true luxury item! | Apart from the molded plywood the Lounge Chair involves more materials like veneer, die cast aluminium, rubber mounts and traditional leather upholstery work. |

 |
| The Eames began experimenting with plywood when making legsplints to help transporting wounded soldiers in WWII. | Later they used this material for various chair studies. The Lounge Chais is the ultimate outcome of their creative process. |

Charles Eames said his goal for the chair was to have the "warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt." |
Being so much of his own kind, an Eames Lounge chair and ottoman blend with almost any interior design. |
