New Mediums, more possibilities

When the industrial revolution introduced new materials into modern society, doors opened to create innovative and exciting pieces of furniture. Mediums such as plastic and plywood allowed for creative spirits to thrive. Wood was no longer the only option for creating lasting pieces of furniture. Mass production made it possible to produce beautiful furniture on a large scale, making it affordable to the working class.

Plywood, which consists of layers of wood glued together and molded into organic curved shapes, is what made designers such as Charles and Ray Eames so famous when they designed the Eames Molded Plywood Chair. With its sleek, simple look and organic curves, the Eames Molded Plywood Chair became a modern classic, inspiring a retro modern look in any space.
