The molded plywood leg splint, designed by Charles Eames and manufactured by Evans Products Company, Molded Plywood division, is a pioneering example of functional design and innovative use of materials. Created in 1942, this leg splint was developed in response to the U.S. Navy's need for lightweight, durable medical supplies. Crafted from layers of thin plywood molded under heat and pressure, the splint features a sleek, contoured shape that comfortably supports and immobilizes the leg. Its ergonomic design minimizes pressure points and maximizes comfort for the injured. The natural wood finish highlights the material's strength and flexibility, while the lightweight construction allows for ease of transport and use. This piece not only represents a significant advancement in medical technology but also marks a crucial moment in the development of molded plywood techniques that would later influence Eames' iconic furniture designs. Including the original packaging with Evans company stamp. Literature: Eames Design: The Work of the Office of Charles and Ray Eames, Neuhart, Neuhart and Eames, ppg. 32-33.
