A refreshing variant of the LCM (1946), the Upholstered LCM sports Kvadrat Divina fabric on its front side. This iconic chair began as an experiment in the Eameses'apartment,where they were molding plywood in what they called the“Kazam! Machine.”The machine pressed thin sheets of wood veneer against a heated membrane that was inflated by a bicycle pump. Humble beginnings for what would become one of the world's most widely recognized and highly coveted chairs.Low-slung,with an expertly crafted molded seat and back(no bike pumps are used today),this chair cradles you in a comfortable position.Its form relates directly to the human body and holds no secrets as to how it succeeds technically.The slender rod base provides superior strength,while rubber shock mounts buffer against jarring movement.

Herman Miller was a West Michigan businessman who helped his son-in-law, D.J. De Pree, buy the Michigan Star Furniture Company in 1923. De Pree had been working at the company, which opened in 1905, since he was hired in 1909 as a clerk. De Pree knew his father-in-law was a man of integrity, so he decided to rename the company after him. By the middle of the 20th century, the name Herman Miller had become synonymous with “modern” furniture. Working with legendary designers George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, the company produced pieces that would become classics of industrial design.
