The Vitra Plywood Group LCM Chair, better known as the LCM (Lounge Chair Metal) is a timeless classic, the result of the visionary creativity of Charles and Ray Eames. This chair has become famous for its striking, slender forms, reminiscent of the sinuosity of a ‘potato chip’ and demonstrating the Eames' mastery in the use of innovative materials and techniques, such as the three-dimensional modelling of plywood.
The seat and back shells exhibit an organic design, the result of sophisticated aesthetic and structural exploration. Each shell is carefully crafted to follow the lines of the human body, offering comfort that exceeds the expectations of their apparent simplicity.
Alongside the Plywood Group LCM Chair, the Vitra collection also includes a smaller version, the Lounge Chair Wood (LCW). This iconic chair represents one of the most celebrated examples of the Eames' pioneering work with plywood, and remains a landmark in furniture design. The LCW is recognised for its elegance, its comfort and its ability to adapt perfectly to different types of environments, while maintaining an incisive yet discreet presence.
Whether one chooses the Vitra Plywood Group LCM Chair or its smaller sister LCW, owning a Vitra Plywood Chair means enjoying a piece of design history that continues to influence contemporary furniture design with its effortless elegance and timeless style.
