A Revolution in Form and Comfort

The Molded Plywood Chair represents a watershed moment in furniture design. Born from experimentation with a bicycle pump and the vision of Charles and Ray Eames, this chair transformed how we think about comfort and design. Crafted from premium North American plywood with an exceptional 1.3cm thickness, our version honors the original's groundbreaking organic form while ensuring superior durability and comfort.
Materials

Premium North American Plywood
Our chair features superior 1.3cm thick plywood - notably thicker than standard reproductions - ensuring exceptional durability and a substantial feel. Available in rich maple and oak stained veneers.

Multi-Layer Construction
The sophisticated design uses five-ply construction for the molded seat and back, while the legs and back brace feature eight-ply architecture for enhanced stability and strength.
Design

Revolutionary Molding Technique
The chair's organic curves are achieved through an innovative plywood molding process, following the groundbreaking technique developed by the Eames. Each curve is precisely engineered to support the human form.

Ergonomic Excellence
The sculptural seat and back were meticulously designed to cradle the body, providing remarkable comfort through form alone. The natural flex of the plywood responds to movement, creating a dynamic seating experience.

Questions About The Plywood Chair

How long until I receive my order?

The Plywood Chair arrives approximately 3 - 4 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.
What is your return policy

The Plywood Chair can be returned after receiving the order if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.
How can I track my order?

The Plywood Chair ships within 7 Days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Plywood Chair ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
