LCW Lounge Chair Wood Walnut, Charles & Ray Eames Evans / Herman Miller 1948-49
An early LCW (Lounge Chair Wood) in Walnut.
Chair sold by Herman Miller, but produced by Evans Plywood in 1948-1949.
The 5-2-5 screw arrangement beneath has only be used by Evans Products. Herman Miller produces from 1950 on, but with 4-2-5 screw pattern.
The production of the LCW has been stopped in 1958 until its re-introduction in 1994.
It has been entirely restored by mid-century specialist: sanded down, refinished and treated with hardening oil. The chair still has its original screws. The original label has fallen off, which happens quite often to these chairs.
A second similar chair is available too, see last photograph.
