That chair is great. Comfortable and stylish. They were doing a lot of things with laminated wood at that time. Chairs are most well known, but they also manufactured leg-splints during the war which were cheaper and lighter than the bulky metal one the U.S. Army was using at the time.

They also made children's toys...http://www.modernconscience.com/store/media/EamesElephant.jp... what's interesting to me about these as a group of collective objects is their seemingly shared curvilinear form. it's clear that although used for different ostensible purposes, they come from the same genesis.
