The Eames lounge chairs and ottomans were first released in 1956. The material used in constructing the legs is molded plywood.
Charles and Ray Eames are known best for pioneering plastic moulded chairs, and bent wood laminant.
Eames chairs are made of plywood and the cushions are not stapled or nailed like most chairs. Here's a picture of one: http://www.ajchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/eames-lounge-chair.jpg
