Eames Plastic Armchair DAW Upholsterd Ash Base

The Eames Plastic Armchair DAW Upholsterd Ash Base has been created by Charles Eames and Ray Eames for the brand Vitra. The American couple is remembered for making significant contributions to the rise of modern furniture and contemporary living. Many of their pieces went on to become iconic award winners that are still sought after today. One such design is the Eames Plastic Armchair DAW Upholsterd Ash Base that they designed for Vitra. This 1950 chair has a unified backrest, seat and armrests, giving it a sleek profile. The shell of the chair is made of dyed-through polypropylene. Over the shell is polyurethane foam that is covered with high-quality upholstery fabric. The frame of the chair is made of ash wood, as are the legs, which are angled outwards rather than straight. This increases the surface area of the base, making the chair more stable and durable. The legs, which have felt glides underneath, are joined together with steel rods set in an intriguing criss-cross pattern.

The Eames Plastic Armchair DAW Upholsterd Ash Base has a width of 62.5cm, a height of 83cm and a depth of 60cm. Its seat height is 43cm. The different colours of the shell and upholstery provide a number of options in terms of combinations.
