461:. As I would have expected, most cases of all-three-capitalized "Eames Lounge Chair" are in headings which (WP notwithstanding) are almost always written in title case. The product is the Eames Chair, model number 670. It has some variants that include the word chair, like "Eames Lounge Chair Wood", but this article isn't about them in particular. "Chair" is a disambiguator that some sources are adding, and we don't seem to have a reason to capitalize it. I would otherwise, but too many sources indicate it is not actually a part of the formal name of the product/design. Similarly, my MacPro is a MacPro computer, not a MacPro Computer, despite the fact that I can find some sources that refer to it with such over-capitalization. 146: 125: 22: 71: 53: 385: 441: 228:

Anyone know why this chair is so important it is found in museums and is a highly sought after collectors piece? I'd love to know more about the history of it!
