Eames chairs - Vitra

The Eames chair represents a fundamental idea of modular design, where a unified seat shell could be combined with various bases to adapt to different environments and functions. Charles and Ray Eames first experimented with moulded plywood, later with fibreglass, and finally with plastic. This construction principle, which unites the shell's ergonomic curvature with its static base, became an architectural statement. Vitra ensures that every model, even the new versions in recycled polypropylene (RE), strictly adheres to the Eames Office's original proportions and technical precision.

Each chair is a testament to Charles and Ray Eames' ability to create beautiful, functional objects that stand the test of time. Charles and Ray Eames were an American architect and designer couple.

Eames RE Plastic Chair and Armchair

The Eames RE Plastic Chair DSW and the Eames RE Plastic Armchair DAW are characterised by their maple wood base. The DSW variant is without armrests and optimised for use at a dining table, while the DAW offers armrests for longer seating periods. The Golden Maple base contributes to a visually warm expression.

Eames RE Plastic Chair DSR Chair

The DSR model is an expression of technical minimalism. The steel undercarriage, often referred to as the "Eiffel base," gives the chair a graphic sharpness and lightness. This variant is often used in environments where visual transparency and linear design are prioritised.

Eames RE Plastic Chair DSX Chair

With its simpler four-legged steel base, the DSX is a more robust and direct variant. The base makes the chair easier to handle in groupings or in environments that require frequent rearrangement. Its construction is straightforward and functional.

Eames RE Plastic Side Chair PSCC Office Chair

The PSCC is a functional adaptation of the shell chair for the working environment. With castors, pneumatic height adjustment, and a swivel function, it meets the requirements of an ergonomic office chair. The PSCC applies the moulded seating comfort in a technically complex context.

Eames RE Plastic Armchair RAR Rocking Chair

The RAR adds movement to the series. With solid wood runners, mounted on metal rods, the rocking chair has a distinct expression of lounge and relaxation. It introduces a softness in use, while maintaining the structural precision of the shell chair.

Wire Chair DKR Chair

The Wire Chair is a further development of the shell chair. The DKR model is constructed from welded steel wires, creating a transparent, sculptural form. It adds an industrial texture and visual lightness to the room, often complemented by a seat pad for increased comfort.

Eames Fiberglass Armchair DAR Armchair

The Fibreglass version represents the original material choice from the 1950s. The DAR combines Vitra's re-introduced fibreglass quality with armrests. The special surface of the fibreglass gives the chair a depth that differs from the plastic shells.

Eames Fiberglass Side Chair Chair

The original Eames chair without armrests in fibreglass has a subtle transparency and surface-technical character. It retains the simple, functional silhouette but with the artisanal feel provided by the fibreglass material.
