For Charles and Ray Eames, their experiments with laminated wood were the beginning of a search for new techniques for adapting rigid materials to the shape of the human body. The idea of three-dimensional laminated wooden shells is most pronounced in the design of the Plywood Chair. The chair was first shown in the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946.
