The products above are among the original modern classics still manufactured today and available through Herman Miller.
Kazam! Charles and Ray Eames used a little magic and a whole
lot of work to perfect their plywood-molding technique. In the
early 1940s, Charles and Ray worked through the evenings in
their small Los Angeles apartment molding plywood in what
they called the “Kazam! machine.”
This device was their version of a curing oven. It let them create
their own plywood and give it shape by using a bicycle pump
to inflate a rubber membrane that pushed glued plies of wood
against a curved, electrically heated plaster mold. The humble
machine eventually allowed the Eameses to manufacture their
molded plywood chair, named the Best Design of the 20th
Century by Time magazine.
