The Black Eames LCW: A Design That Dates to 1946

Black aniline stain was one of the first finishes used on the Evans-produced LCW in 1946. Rare and sought-after: original black Evans LCWs now command premium prices at auction. The black version is favoured by architects, interior designers, and design collectors. A contemporary interpretation of a historically significant colourway. Named ‘Best Design of the 20th Century’ by Time Magazine — in any colour.

What ‘Black Stained’ Means — and Why It Matters

Black ebony stain penetrates the veneer surface, leaving grain visible beneath. This is NOT spray paint: the wood texture remains tactile and warm. Matte finish: no plastic sheen, no reflection glare, no fingerprint magnification. Stain is water-based, VOC-free, and skin-contact safe once cured. Substrate: birch-core plywood — fine, consistent grain shows character beneath the stain.

Construction: 7-Ply Engineering in Monochrome

7-ply cross-grain core for maximum strength at the ergonomic bend curves. E0-certified adhesive — formaldehyde-free construction. Black ebony stain applied before final sealing — penetrates, does not peel. Rubber shock mounts: the innovation that makes the LCW ergonomically superior. EN 1022 tested: 150 kg / 330 lbs load capacity.

Interior Design: Styling the Black LCW

White-walled interiors: maximum contrast and graphic impact. Light oak floors: the black chair pops without competing tonally. Monochrome rooms: pairs with black, white, grey, and chrome finishes. Architecture studios and design offices: the professional’s choice. Photography: the black LCW is among the most-featured pieces in interior content creation.

Floor & Surface Pairing Guide

Light oak / ash floors: high contrast, dramatic — photographer’s favourite. Concrete / grey resin floors: industrial-cool, architectural feel. White painted floors: sculptural floating effect — Scandinavian gallery aesthetic. Dark walnut floors: tonal harmony — sophisticated and cohesive. Terracotta tiles: unexpected warmth contrast — works in bohemian and eclectic interiors.

Care & Maintenance for Black Stained Plywood

Dust with a dry microfibre cloth — the matte finish shows dust less than gloss finishes. For marks: barely-damp cloth with mild soap; dry immediately. Touch-up kit available: matching black furniture marker for minor surface scratches. Avoid silicone polishes — they create uneven sheen on matte finishes. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent UV bleaching of the black stain.
