(4) EC-127 DCM Chairs
Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller
Incredibly rare set of four EC-127, DCM (Dining Chair Metal) chairs designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller with original upholstery.
The EC-127 was a variation of the DCM (Dining Chair Metal). The main innovation was the substitution of fiberglass-reinforced plastic for plywood, allowing the introduction of a new shock-absorbing rubber and metal mount. This new detail, which maintained the dramatic cantilevered interface of the metal frame while avoiding the pitfalls of a glued connection, proved valuable enough to be used in most Eames plastic chairs for years to come.
Fabric is original, identified as Hopsak Plus 4742. In great condition, with a few signs of wear consistent with age. Full upholstery cleaning has been done to the seats and back, and a polish to the frame.
ORIGIN: Manufactured 1978, USA. Stamped underneath to verify authentication and date.
