Charles and Ray Eames ‘LCM’ chair for Vitra

Thanks to the slender organic shapes of the seats and the back shells, Charles and Ray Eames’ LCM quickly acquired the nickname ‘Potato Chip Chair’.

Charles and Ray Eames experimented for years with new techniques to produce three-dimensional molded plywood seat shells that took on the contours of the human body. They succeeded with the chairs in the Plywood Group, which have grown into classics with a look that still feels contemporary today. For the Plywood Group, they also combined the seats and backs with different bases. Thanks to the organic shape of the plywood shells and the slightly flexible backrests, these light and compact chairs offer a high level of comfort. This armchair is made of the beautiful ash plywood black. Minimal traces of use give this chair the character that suits timeless design.
