A low plywood chair with a light footprint.

Herman MillerEames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair Wood Base

Why we picked it

Its molded plywood curves give it a clear silhouette, while the open, low profile keeps a corner from feeling crowded.

What stood out

The low, curved plywood shell has a clear shape without much visual bulk.

Where it could work

It could work by a window, in a reading corner, or beside a sofa when another upholstered chair would feel too bulky.

How we'd use it

We'd place it near a window with a small table in reach. A cushion is optional, not required.
