Description
Pioneers of utilising new techniques to improve the form and function of everyday objects, Charles and Ray Eames spent many years experimenting with bent plywood furniture. Ergonomically designed to mould to the contours of the body, the organic shape of the LCW chair provides a mid-century look that is unrivalled in terms of comfort.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the LCW plywood chair for its clean lines and lightweight feel - the black ash finish gives it a subtle depth that works in everything from a stripped-back Scandi scheme to a more layered mid-century setting. To style it, try pairing it with a soft, neutral rug and a slim metal side table so the shape really stands out, or drape a chunky cotton throw over the back for a cosy touch. It’s equally at home in a home office (just add a slim writing desk) or as an occasional chair in the living room, and you can tie it into the room by echoing the ash tone in a lampshade or decorative bowl.

Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
