We can consider the hard work, determination and endeavour of those involved in the project as a factor, can't we? Yes of course, given the success, not only with this but for the entire duration of the Eames Office, I think it is safe to say it is a given! But commitment by an inventor or a designer is a must in any project and let’s be honest, this can also be present even in ones that ultimately fail. It takes more than that and we believe the stardust of the DCM comes down to a few things namely MOMA, Herman Miller, Timing and Styling. Let's find out more. With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles. So just what was it about the Eames Lounger that thrust it into the limelight? What was it that made it even more important on the timeline of ‘Eames Chairs’ that we covered so far in this article? It goes without saying that Herman Miller was once again involved, after all they made it (and still do) but this time there was no need for them to save the day. You could say it is once again the timing, the styling, and yes you could but it's not even that. The single most important element of the success of this chair was desirability! Desirability brought about from so many angles, let’s explore more. Herman Miller acquired the full manufacturing rights from Zenith following their sale to 3M in 1955, providing for themselves the unlimited potential of realizing true mass production. They were able to manufacture the chairs in plants around the US, in Chicago, LA, Cincinnati and Michigan. This intervention was the single reason for the overwhelming success of the chair, production was multiplied by the thousands, new colors added to the range, fabrics and textiles would be available, new base types and installation possibilities brought in. Even as tastes changed into the 1970’s and 1980’s Herman Miller was still able to capitalize on commercial success through sales to hospitals, schools, businesses and government institutions. What a difference a decade makes! Charles Eames' early struggles with the molded plywood technology were all butconsigned to history following years of great effort and research, not to mention collaborative expertise from colleagues and peers. The war years had re-enforced Charles’ long held belief that the strengthened plywood could be something, and so it would be proven.

Make no mistake, Herman Miller turned around the fortunes of this furniture ‘start-up’. The war time collaboration between Charles Eames and the Evans Molded Plywood Division was moving into uncharted territory post war and Evans had zero experience in the furniture industry. Their reluctance to ‘go all in’ was somewhat hampering the ambitions of the fledgling Eames Office and help was sorely needed. Up steps George Nelson and the Herman Miller Furniture Company.

The third design that defined and created the very term 'Eames Chair' needs little introduction, it is the 1956 Eames Lounge Chair and matching Ottoman. With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.

Quite simply, an eames chair could be any chair, designed by the now legendary American mid-century designer Charles Eames. The reality however is that there are some, more than others, that profess to have created that reputation, let's explore in more details. The 1946 release of the plywood furniture group would see a collection of very well thought out pieces that appealed across the board. It would also see the first indication of an Eames trait whereby various chair bases utilizing the same tops could create what was essentially variants of the same thing. The plywood group had a bit of everything, tables for dining ( DTW) tables for occasional use ( CTM, CTW, OTW) and chairs for lounge ( LCW, LCM) alongside the chairs for dining, the DCW and DCM. The centuries old saying ‘a face that launched a thousand ships’ may have originated from Greek mythology, but more contemporary uses of the phrase tend to be aimed at originators of work or models of beauty etc. It is the perfect phrase too for the Eames Lounge Chair because the ripple effect on the industry would be far and wide. Chairs modeled on the look and feel of the Lounger would begin appearing from furniture manufacturers the world over. Some would be loosely based on the design whilst others could be described as direct copies. It was a look that clearly resonated, that had high levels of desirability and this ‘extra copy market’ was testament to this.Make no mistake, Herman Miller was once again instrumental in the Fiberglass chairs becoming the phenomena they have. But unlike the struggles of the Evans company with the molded plywood, the chairs were initially being made and made well by Zenith Plastics, based in Los Angeles, California. Miller was once again initially utilized as the distributor, creating the advertising, the marketing and exclusively selling the pieces through their network of stores country wide. As director of design at a changing Herman Miller, George Nelson held a great deal of sway and an enormous respect throughout the industry. He introduced the Miller bosses to the works of Charles Eames at the MOMA exhibition of the new plywood furniture. As if written in the stars, the marrying together of the endeavour of the product and design, the reluctance of the Evans Company and the interest by Herman Miller was near on perfect. Miller negotiated and agreed to be the sole and exclusive distributor for the range. This is likely the single most important factor in the success of the DCM, the range and the Eames Office as a whole. Herman Miller was an established furniture giant with showrooms in many major US cities and a marketing experience at the top end of the industry, happy days! Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
