We couldn’t resist sharing this image of Eames DCM-L and LCM chairs in Mies Van Der Rohe’s Crown Hall on the campus of Illinois Institute of Technology. The image is from a Herman Miller chair catalog, and while the Miller House has no Eames molded plywood chairs, it does have other Eames chairs

In 1970 the Millers brought their Eames Aluminium group chairs back to a Herman Miller factory to be recovered. They purchased the chairs in June 1958.
