Manufacturer: Vitra

Designer: Charles & Ray Eames 1950

This is an original genuine Vitra piece.

Eames Plastic Side Chair is a contemporary version of the legendary Fibreglass Chair. It was produced in collaboration with Zenith Plastics for the Museum of Modern Art's Low-Cost Furniture Design Competition and was the first industrially manufactured plastic chair. To complement the product line Vitra is re-launching the fully-upholstered and seat-upholstered Plastic Armchair and Side Chair. The organically shaped upholstered shells are particularly comfortable and radiate a homely atmosphere.

The Hopsak seat cushion in various colours can be combined at will with fourteen seat shell colours. Together with the bases this creates any number of individual possible combinations.

The average human height has increased worldwide by nearly 10 cm over the past 60 years, resulting in a growing awareness of the need to adapt the dimensions of classic chair designs to fit new proportions. In comparison to the taller heights of most tables and seating today, many people felt that the Eames Plastic Chairs were too low. Vitra is now responding to the requirements and needs of its customers by adding 20 mm to the height of the Eames Plastic Chairs DSX, DAX, DSR, DAR, DSW and DAW, while also revising the seat geometry. These modifications, which are aesthetically almost imperceptible, substantially increase the comfort of this classic chair design, especially in combination with contemporary tables.

Materials: Materials: Seat shell: dyed-through, recycled polypropylene, 100% recyclable. Hopsak fabric upholstery.

Base: non-stacking four-legged wire base with cross struts.

Note: due to the composition of the recycled material, the seat shell colours exhibit very subtle specks of pigment.

All models are available with a seat cushion (screwed to the seat shell) or full upholstery. The fully upholstered version has moulded polyurethane foam padding covered in fabric, attached to the shell with a welted edge. Different shell and upholstery colours and various bases provide a multitude of possible combinations.

Dimensions: Width 46.5cm x Depth 55cm x Height 83cm (seat height: 43cm)
