HOT ! Eames® Molded Plywood Dining Chair - Metal Base

Meet the Eames Molded Plywood Dining Chair with a metal base: a piece that may look simple, but holds decades of design ambition and material ingenuity. This is not just a chair—it’s a quiet statement of mid-century innovation, reinterpreting utility with artful restraint and crafted for spaces that value character as much as comfort.

The chair’s form begins with two sculpted sheets of molded plywood, contoured to cradle the body with a gentle, flexible support. Its metal base adds an architectural counterpoint to the warmth of the wood, balancing organic form with industrial clarity. The result is a chair that feels grounded, modern, and enduringly human.

Originally designed in 1946 by Charles and Ray Eames, this piece represents one of their earliest breakthroughs in molded plywood design—a technique born from their wartime experiments in material shaping. That heritage gives the chair more than historical weight; it gives it purpose. Every curve and connection speaks to function refined by curiosity and craft.

When you bring this piece home from HORNE, you’re not just adding a design classic. You’re investing in a chair that ages gracefully, blending into the rhythm of everyday life while holding its sculptural integrity. It works as beautifully at a dining table as it does in a creative workspace or reading nook.

Each chair is offered in a range of wood veneers such as walnut, white ash, red-stained ash, and ebony-stained ash, paired with a sleek metal base in either polished chrome or matte black. Measuring approximately 29.5 inches high, 20.5 inches wide and deep, with a seat height around 17.5 inches, it fits seamlessly under most dining or work surfaces.

At HORNE, we curate designs that stand the test of time—pieces that serve, support, and inspire. The Eames Molded Plywood Dining Chair embodies that belief: durable, thoughtful, and quietly iconic.
