Design: Charles & Ray Eames
Charles & Ray Eames presented their designs for the Plastic Chair Group for the first time at the International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1950, the Plastic Side Chair and the Plastic Armchair were the very first industrially produced plastic chairs to hit the market. From the very start, the Eameses designed different bases for a range of applications – and the Plastic Chair became an icon of furniture design. In addition to domestic living spaces, millions of them are used in offices, health care institutions, restaurants, lecture halls, airports and sports stadiums.
The fully-upholstered organically-shaped seat shell offers even greater sitting comfort. The padded shell features piping in black or white.
Comfort The fully-upholstered organically-shaped seat shell offers even greater sitting comfort. The padded shell features piping in black or white. Variety The seat shell is available in 8 different colours and can be combined with either a padded or fully-upholstered seat in 13 different colours. There are several bases to choose from and a wide range of individual combination possibilities – the Plastic Armchair with powder-coated base (in dark grey) is suitable for outdoor use.
Depending on which colour, padding, and base you choose, the Plastic Armchair can fulfil all kinds of needs and preferences. RAR is not available upholstered.
Several Eames Plastic Armchairs mounted on a crossbar are ideal for waiting areas.
