20th Century Furniture Designers and Architects

Charles Eames - American

Charles Eames was the first architect to be totally at home with technology. He used technology with an artist's flair.

The United States Army commissioned him to produce plywood stretchers and splints during the war.

This led to his design of the LCM chair in 1945, it had a molded plywood seat and back with compound curves on metal legs.

He was the first person to produce compound curves with molded plywood.

In 1956 we designed the famous Lounge chair 670 and Ottoman 671 to replace the overstuffed wingchair.

It was made of laminated Rosewood with leather padding, and the same bend was used for all the pieces. Eames 670 chair and Van Der Rohe's Barcelona Chair are considered the two greatest furniture designs of the 20th Century.

Eames and Saarinen mastered the machine so that it was no longer threatening and able to do as they asked.
