Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
Discovery often takes interesting turns. Consider the shapes Charles and Ray Eames made plywood take. Experimenting in the 1940s with thin sheets of wood veneer formed under heat and pressure, they adapted new technology to furniture making. Sculpting a seat and back to fit the contours of the human body, they designed a truly comfortable chair that’s suitable for businesses and homes. It’s an achievement others have noticed — Time Magazine named it the Best Design of the 20th Century.

The Eames Molded Plywood Chair is available here in a classic dining chair shape with metal legs, a design known as the DCM.

Eames DCM - Molded Plywood Dining Chair with Metal Legs The Design:

In the early 1940s, when Charles Eames was working on MGM set designs, he would return to the small apartment where he and his wife, Ray, were experimenting with wood-molding techniques that would have profound effects on the design world.

Their discoveries led to a commission from the U.S. Navy in 1942 to develop plywood splints, stretchers, and glider shells molded under heat and pressure.

After World War II, they adapted the technology to create inexpensive, high-quality chairs that could be mass-produced. The process eliminated the extraneous wood needed to connect the seat with the back, which reduced the weight and visual profile of the chair and established a basis for modern furniture design. The chair is in the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Distinctive Design

Comments about Herman Miller Open Box Eames DCM - Molded Plywood Dining Chair Metal Legs:

Chairs are very comfortable. Friends have told me that the chairs helped them soothe a sore back. These chairs are made with top quality materials and workmanship. I expected them to come with assembly required --- instead they came as a well crafted complete chair in a box.

I had seen these chairs in a local store for full retail price --- I am lucky I found them here at a discount. Well worth every penny.
