American designers Charles and Ray Eames

After refining their molded plastic chairs, Charles and Ray Eames began experimenting with making a chair from welded wire. To succeed, the Eameses had to figure out how to create a design with the strength they needed while keeping manufacturing costs as low as possible. Ultimately, they decided on using lighter-gauge wire doubled over into a rim that sandwiches heavier inner wire to form their Eames Wire Chair (1951), which won them their first American mechanical design patent. Its organic shape and airy silhouette are complemented by what’s commonly referred to as an Eiffel base (because of its trademark shape). This is an authentic Eames product by Herman Miller.

Wire Alloy Steel

Plastic

Steels are alloys of iron and other elements, primarily carbon, widely used in construction and other applications because of their high tensile strengths and low costs.

Carbon, other elements, and inclusions within iron act as hardening agents that prevent the movement of dislocations that otherwise occur in the crystal lattices of iron atoms.

Parkesine is considered the first man-made plastic.

The plastic material was patented by Alexander Parkes, In Birmingham, UK in 1856.

Their malleability, or plasticity during manufacture, that allows them to be cast, pressed, orextruded into a variety of shapes—such as films, fibers, plates, tubes, bottles, boxes, and much more.

Fabric

Textiles can be made from many materials.

These materials come from four main sources: animal (wool, silk), plant (cotton, flax, jute), mineral (asbestos, glass fibre), and synthetic (nylon, polyester, acrylic). In the past, all textiles were made from natural fibres, including plant, animal, and mineral sources. In the 20th century, these were supplemented by artificial fibres made from petroleum.

With the success of their molded plywood furniture, the Eameses continued to seek out new materials and forms to create affordable, functional, and modern furniture. This metal chair was designed to be lightweight, comfortably ergonomic, and durable. It is comprised of a curved, bucket-back wire seat, secured onto a metal support. This pedestal form is often referred to as the "Eiffel Tower" base due to its resemblance to the cast-iron Paris landmark.

This innovative use of metal construction provided a flexible, multipurpose design suitable for inside and outside use.

The chromium plating is usually applied over bright nickel plating.

Typical base materials include steel, aluminum, plastic, copper alloys, and zinc alloys.Decorative chrome plating is also very corrosion resistant and is often used on car parts, tools and kitchen utensils.

chrome plating was developed by Fink & Eldridge at Columbia University in 1924, and was based on a 1920 paper by Dr. George J. Sargent. In very simple terms, Sargent discovered that in order to electroplate chromium you need almost exactly 1 part of sulfuric acid to 100 parts of chromic acid. More sulfuric acid or less and it just won't plate. Because of this discovery, the most conventional chromium plating process is still called "the Sargent bath".
