Honored by Time magazine as the Best Design of the 20th Century, this molded plywood chair began as an experiment, created via a machine that molded plywood with the help of heat and a bicycle pump. Today, the low-slung chair features an expertly crafted molded seat and back that cradles you in comfort. To echo the editors of Time, the Eames molded plywood lounge chair is "something elegant, light, and comfortable. Much copied, but never bettered."

Back with later bolts which secure through the back panel; hardness to rubber shock.
