Herman Miller Eames DAR Style Molded Plastic Eiffel Armchair (White)

Description

This high-quality reproduction of the molded plastic steel-based armchair by Eames will add an instant conversation piece to any seating environment. Charles and Ray Eames believed that "design is a method of action." Their Molded Plastic chairs were originally designed in metal, and entered as a prototype in MoMAs 1948 International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design. They then changed the material to fiberglass in 1950, and today the chairs are made of recyclable molded plastic. Charles was dissatisfied with the fiberglass, and it wasnt until after his death that the matte finish he desired was achieved, thanks to advances in materials. The chair that Charles and Ray were designing, explains grandson Eames Demetrios, is the chair thats made tomorrow. The deep seat pocket and waterfall seat edge keep you comfortable by reducing pressure on the backs of thighs. The solid "Eiffel" chrome-plated steel base adds a touch of contemporary elegance. Comfortable and versatile, this chair is required decor for any space, indoor and out.
