Plywood Group DCM (otherwise known as the Potato Chip Chair)
If you mention the Plywood Group Chairs to some people, they may not know what you are talking about. But if you say the Potato Chip Chair they will be singing like canaries. The Plywood group series have acronyms such as DCM or LCM which stand for Dining/Lounge Chair Metal. The nickname of the Potato Chip Chair followed shortly after its release.
How can a chair have common features of a potato I hear you ask?
Well, surely you cannot disagree with the fact that the thin, oval, and slightly curved seat of the Plywood Group chairs and a crunchy, crisp potato chip share a certain similarity? Of course you can't!
The Plywood Group Chairs have received comments such as “a message of hope from another planet”, and this is due to the love that was felt by people that sat in them.
The Potato Chip Chair was designed by Charles and Ray Eames and the impact which they made was phenomenal. Not only were they unusual and different, they were everywhere. Sold in huge, bulk numbers to schools, universities, public establishments, the Potato Chip Chair was part of the American Culture. Not only did they appear in public spaces, they appeared in magazines, album covers, adverts, and even comic books! The Plywood Group Chairs, otherwise known as the Potato Chip Chair, became one of the most sought after product.
