LCW 1946
Lounge Chair Wood
LCW With Metal Disc Shock Mount
15 1/4" seating height by 24 1/4" deep by 26 1/4" high
This chair was made by the Evans Plywood Products company in 1946. We believe it was made after the MOMA exhibition, in the final quarter of 1946. Similar chairs in the MOMA exhibition had rubber shock mounts and no screws. It is likely that when the Eames Office prepared the chairs for the first production and made the determination to add screws for a more secure connection they decided to add metal discs to the rubber shock mounts, so the screws could connect, metal to metal. Eventually they sourced rubber shock mounts with integral metal, and they no longer needed to add the external metal discs seen on this example.
That this is Evans production is also indicated by the five-two-five screw configuration on the underside.
