A Textured Shell on Four Simple Legs

The DSX pairs the Eameses' contoured fibreglass shell with an understated four-legged tubular steel base. Its straightforward profile makes it easy to place around a dining table or at a desk, while the visible fibres give the shell a depth and character distinct from a smooth plastic finish.

The design grew from Charles and Ray Eames' exploration of affordable, mass-produced seating. After experimenting with metal shells for the Museum of Modern Art's 1948 low-cost furniture competition, they turned to glass-fibre reinforced polyester to realise a single moulded seat and backrest that follows the body's contours.

A choice of shell colours and chrome or Basic Dark powder-coated bases lets the DSX sit quietly within a room or introduce a more expressive accent. The slim steel legs keep the overall appearance light, leaving the sculptural shell as the focus.
