The great portfolio of Charles & Ray Eames is widely celebrated and serves as a model of inspiration for designers to this day. One of their most recognizable motifs was their work with molded plywood. The Eames Team started experimenting with splints in this material for use in World War II. It’s estimated that over 100,000 splints were produced which cemented their expertise and lead to designs such as their famed Eames Lounge Chair and these Dining Chairs in Wood, colloquially known as DCW Chairs.

This Eames for Herman Miller DCW Chair set of 6 has been expertly refinished in a robust satin Dark Chocolate finish. Every angle of this design has such intrigue, so as to become sculptures in the room. Crafted from five individual pieces of bent wood, the chair molds to the human form like no other. The Eames’ furthered this intention with the use of rubber shock mounts which “magically” tilt the back and seat conform perfectly. These chairs were designed for use as dining chairs and could also be used in a multitude of settings such as a dressing room, an intimate nook, or any type of accent seating.
