Product Details

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
Charles and Ray Eames adapted molding techniques developed during World War II to mass produce this classic design. Available in side and armchair versions, Today's Molded Plastic Chairs are true to the originals and are fully authentic, with updated materials to meet environmental requirements.

Charles and Ray Eames, always interested in new materials, saw in plastic the chance to form organic seat shells that conform to the body’s shape. The enduring forms and quality construction make the Molded Plastic Armchairs - available here with a metal wire base - comfortable, durable performers.

Eames DAR - Molded Plastic Armchair with Wire Base

The Design:

New materials, especially those that held promise for doing more with less, fascinated Charles and Ray Eames throughout their careers. Their fascination led to inventive modern furniture, such as the Molded Plastic Chair. Designed in 1948, it was the first plastic chair to be mass produced.
The current models look exactly the same as the originals. They remain unupholstered, in keeping with the Eameses requirement that materials be expressed honestly and unselfconsciously. In fact, these were the first one-piece plastic chairs to be left uncovered.
At the same time, the chairs are better than ever. For example, the shell is now manufactured using more environmentally friendly, high-impact plastic.

Dewster from Danville, CA	4.0 1/22/2012 Another fine Eames piece! Product Review I gave this piece 4 stars due to the fact that the plastic texture of the new chair didn't entirely match my previously purchased DAR. I expect American made products to be of superior quality, and I am proud of the facts that Americans still make some of the best products in the world. Service Review The delivery company was prompt and polite. Was this helpful? Yes / No
Tracy from Colleyville, TX	5.0 12/6/2011 Fun, funky and functional Product Review The aqua sky color (which is paler than I was expecting) took a little getting used to but these chairs have won my family over, since we spent so much time in our kitchen. Well built and comfy—though I may add some round pads later. I ordered four and liked them so well I ordered two more! Now Im completely repainting my mid century home around this color scheme. Service Review The shipping vendor used by Herman Miller had our phone number wrong, resulting in a delay, but everything worked out. The chairs were beautifully packaged and required no assembly! Was this helpful? Yes / No
