Lounge Chair Metal (LCM Chair)

Floating planes and graceful curves are quintessential elements of midcentury modernism. Two planes of “floating” molded plywood, connected by a thin yet strong steel spine, comprise the Eames LCM chair (lounge chair with metal legs). The slightly curved seat and back reflect a design sensibility cultivated by Ray and Charles Eames during more than five years of experimentation with the capacities of molded plywood.
