Eames Plastic Side Chairs
The Eames Plastic Chairs are renewed
versions of the legendary Fiberglass
Chairs. The original, which was the very
first industrially produced plastic chair,
was jointly developed with Zenith Plastics
for the ‘Low-Cost Furniture Design’
competition organised by the Museum of
Modern Art. In the current version made
of polypropylene, these chairs provide
even greater comfort.

∏ Base: Non-stacking, four-legged wire base
With its simple organic shape, the Plastic
Side Chair now seems like an archetype
of the genre of chairs whose shell can be
combined with diverse bases. The
selection of bases makes it possible to use
the chairs in a wide variety of settings:
from the dining room or home office to the
garden. Shells come in a broad range of
colours and upholstery versions, so that
components can be mixed and matched
to find the perfect chair for individual
needs.

The DSX four-legged base and DSR wire base are available in basic dark powder-coated options. These make the chairs suitable for outdoor use; all the more
since special additives impede the fading of the seat shell colours in sunlight.
