How the Eames Bent Plywood LCW is Made
Howdy, bent plywood fans! I came across this video the other day and just had to share it with you. It’s all about how the Eames Lounge Chair Wood (LCW) came to be. They go back to the beginning and share how plywood - normally a construction material - became a modern furniture material through the creative eyes of Charles & Ray Eames. Then, the video goes behind the scenes and shows the actual process used to make the chairs today. It all happens just on the other side of our lovely state in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Watching it left me drooling and excited to make some bent plywood things myself, so enjoy!
