About—
The Eames LCM Chair was the abbreviated name of the famous 1946 Lounge Height (D) Side Chair (C) on Metal (M) Rod Base. The LCM was the lounger edition of the metal leg plywood chairs developed by Charles Eames in collaboration with the Evans Plywood Company.
The end of the second world war enabled Charles to bring together the experimental plywood techniques he had helped to develop, and his long-time interest for furniture design. The result was a series of four chairs which went on to be defined in history as ‘the Eames chairs’. The LCM was one of the first four adult chairs to be released using the new material along with the dining version DCM and the wood leg DCW and LCW chairs.
Although most were made in the readily available Birch or Ash, the Eames LCM Side Chair was made in a great number of other woods including Walnut and later on, Rosewood. They were also upholstered by factory fabrics and those later designed by Alexander Girard for Herman Miller.
Many of the plywood products ceased to be produced by the end of the 50s largely due to new trends and new materials being available to designers. They were of course superseded by the arrival of the plastic chair series but even they were based on the idea of changing bases and tops started with the plywood range. The LCM and sister DCM however were spared and continued to be produced through the decades until now.
