Eames® Molded Plywood Lounge Chair (LCM) from Herman Miller

Conceived in 1946 by the husband-and-wife design team of Charles and Ray Eames, the LCM (“lounge chair metal”) is an icon of mid-century modern design and represented in MoMA’s collection. The Eames® Molded Plywood Lounge Chair (LCM) is composed of a molded-plywood seat and back that sit on a powder-coated black steel frame, with neoprene shock mounts in between. The separate back and seat provide visual interest—and they also initially simplified production in the early days of the chair. Set low to the ground, the LCM has a seat that is tilted back slightly, cradling the body and making it an excellent and comfortable chair for lounging. The Eames® Molded Plywood Lounge Chair (LCM) is made in the USA by Herman Miller®, a manufacturer represented in MoMA’s collection, and it measures 26.5h X 22w x 24″d.
