The 1946 Eames DCM Chair was the abbreviated name representing the Dining Height (D) Side Chair (C) on Metal (M) Rod Base. The chair was part of a small series of chairs and tables which effectively kick started the career of Charles and Ray Eames into notoriety.
The design of the series may seem classical and relatively tame by today's standards but imagine the post war period from 1946 when designs of new materials and shapes were beginning to reach the public domain. They were perhaps a pre-cursor of the decade to come which had an almost unlimited feel of expression in US design, the 1950's.
