Product Details
About the Designer
Charles & Ray EamesCharles & Ray Eames United States

Charles Ormond Eames, Jr (1907–1978) and Bernice Alexandra "Ray" (née Kaiser) Eames (1912–1988) were American designers, who worked in and made major contributions to modern architecture and furniture. They also worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film.


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 Chairs - available here with a classic Eames wire base - comfortable, durable performers.


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




Features at a Glance:

  • Landmark Design


    • Organic shape
    • Clean, simple form sculpted to fit the body
    • First presented at the Museum of Modern Art in 1948, the chairs have achieved a pervasive presence that proves the staying power of good design
    • Today's recreation looks the same as the original
    • Classic Eames Dowel-Leg Base




  • Smart Construction


    • Durable design, even in public spaces
    • Many uses – in the home, office, café, reception area, or training room


  • Thoughtful Engineering


    • Designed for minimum environmental impact
    • Shells are recyclable polypropylene
    • Shell is dyed throughout so colors remain vibrant even after years of hard use
    • Rubber shock mounts where shell meets the base provide extended comfort






Dimensions:

  • Height: 31.75"
  • Width: 18.5”
  • Depth: 22"
  • Seat Height: 16.25”

Beware of colors

Iconic chair, good price, but absolutely make sure you see colors IN PERSON before you order. Online representation is misleading.

a design classic

These chairs will never loose their value or appeal. I got the red with dowel leg base--very hot. One thing to note is that it's definitely NOT red--it's more of a bright orange and the maple legs are much lighter than pictures show but considering that they're real maple wood the tone will certainly deepen/darken over time and with exposure to light.

Enjoyed customizing this chair

Awesome chair. Looks like it can stand up to my kids. I use this chair for granite top work table for family everyday use. The plastic seems thinner than I imagined. But this chair is worth the money.

Beautiful design

I love the color, very zen, and the wooden legs that soften the modernity of the design. Love it. And the big bonus...so comfortable.

suitable for dining chairs

Looks cool and is stable than expected. I use this for a part of my dining set and it works very well. I wonder if the color of legs were a little bit brownish, then it could be perfect.

Timeless and comfortable. I bought four to go with a dining room table. Many color options and so I mixed it up.

timeless

material combination of plastic shell, black rod, and dowel leg makes a more refined statement than the basic metal base.
