Bent plywood chairs are cool, the Eames Low Chair Wood (LCW) especially. Not sure what it is about Mid-Century modern stuff that I love so much. Charles Eames’ philosphy, when designing this chair, was to make something affordable and accessible to everyone (like Ikea?).

Some standout points:

• It’s low.
• It’s a chair.
• It’s made from bent plywood. Originally, Charles Eames wanted to form the plywood into a shell, but was much too weak.
• There are no holes on the seat and backrest. The different parts were joined together by a series of rubber shock mounts glued to the wood and connected with bolts.
• It now costs up to $1200 new.

Thanks Wikipedia for the info!
