Timeless, classic, comfortable: these words are often used to describe mid-century modern furniture, and also explain why so many find this style appealing. Developed during the age of television, Charles and Ray Eames were perfecting techniques for curving plywood and ensuring durability of the exposed lamination that are used to this day. Their style is often imitated, but nothing can compare to the original. Eames designs were revolutionary, juxtaposing the plainest of materials, plywood, exposed in a high-end luxury furniture set. Simple yet luxurious all at once.
