About this piece
Authentic Eames LCW in red‑lacquered birch plywood, offered from a private Sydney collection where it has resided for over thirty years. First shown in 1945 and widely acknowledged as a defining object of twentieth‑century design, the LCW presents its characteristic sculptural form: a compound‑curved seat and back, a refined plywood spine, and splayed wooden legs that create the chair’s low, relaxed stance.
The vivid red lacquer lends a strong graphic quality that remains true to its era while sitting comfortably in contemporary interiors. Original maker’s labels are present on the underside.
Condition: Patina and surface wear consistent with age, including crazing and casing to the lacquer.
Sourced in Sydney.
Dimensions: 56 cm W x 58 cm D x 66 cm H

Design Story
Herman Miller is one of the most influential furniture manufacturers of the 20th and 21st centuries, known for shaping modern design as much as filling offices and homes.
Founded in 1905 in Michigan as a traditional furniture company, it transformed in the 1930s under the leadership of D.J. De Pree. Instead of playing it safe with conventional styles, the company leaned into modernism, collaborating with visionary designers who would go on to define an era.
The turning point came through partnerships with figures like Charles Eames and Ray Eames, whose molded plywood and fiberglass chairs became icons of mid century design. George Nelson, the company’s design director, helped establish a cohesive and forward thinking identity, bringing in talents like Isamu Noguchi.
Over time, Herman Miller built a reputation for blending aesthetics with function. That philosophy carried into the late 20th century with innovations like the Aeron Chair, which redefined office seating and became a symbol of early tech culture.
Today, Herman Miller remains a global design leader, balancing heritage with innovation. Its pieces are not just furniture, they’re cultural artifacts that quietly signal taste, whether in a Silicon Valley office or a carefully curated living room.
