Charles Eames is a very important designer in design history, who worked along with his wife Ray and together realized many iconic pieces of furniture. Their relationship with Herman Miller began with molded plywood chairs in the late 1940s and includes the world-renowned Eames lounge chair, now included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Graphic design led them to showroom design, toy collecting to the invention of toys. In addition, a contraption consisting of a wooden board, set up by their friend and director Billy Wilder to take a NAP, led to the design of their acclaimed chaise lounge.
Here we have a set of 4 DCM (Dining Chair Metal) chairs belonging to the Plywood Group, the result of Charles and Ray Eames' early experiments with molding plywood into complex shapes in 1940s.
