Classic: Eames Plastic Side Chair DAR Chair Vitra

DAR stands for "Dining Armchair rod base". The filigree steel wire construction is also known as the Eiffel Tower base and combines structural stability with formal lightness. The different coloured, organic seat shells make it possible to adapt the popular classic DAR to your own preferences.

The history of the Eames Plastic Chairs

One of the Eames Plastic Chairs, the DAW chair, was presented for the first time in 1948 as part of the "Low Cost Furniture Design" competition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where it won second place. Today, the Plastic Chairs have become classics that have become an integral part of private homes and public spaces. At the time of their creation, the designer chairs were a real novelty. The idea of a one-piece seat shell moulded to fit the body was new.

"The most of the best to the greatest number of people for the least" - Charles & Ray Eames absolutely lived up to this claim with the Plastic Chairs. The result was the first mass-produced, affordable plastic chairs with an outstanding design. With the Plastic Chairs, Charles & Ray Eames revolutionised the history of furniture in the 1950s. After the war years, society in Europe and the USA was in a state of upheaval. This also had an impact on furnishings and lifestyle. With the DAW and the other Plastic Chairs, Charles & Ray Eames made their contribution to liberating the living space from the prevalent control.

From America to Europe

In the early 1940s, the Plastic Chairs were produced in the USA by Herman Miller. The designer chairs made their way across the pond to Europe in the early 1950s when Erika and Willi Fehlbaum saw an Eames chair in a shop window while travelling in the USA.

Inspired by the design of the plastic chair, the Vitra founders negotiated a licence to sell the Eames Plastic Chairs in Europe. Ultimately, their efforts were successful and Vitra became the licensed manufacturer of the chairs in Europe and Asia. To this day, Vitra is the only licensed manufacturer for this sales region. Charles & Ray Eames maintained a close relationship with Vitra throughout their lives. This is also reflected in the fact that Vitra is in possession of their estate in the form of the Eames Archive. Even today, after the death of the designer couple, Vitra still endeavours to act in their spirit and always asks itself the question: "What would Charles & Ray Eames say about this?" when further developing collections.

Charles and Ray Eames - design duo

If you love design, you should know the Eames. For many, it immediately brings to mind their most famous designs, the Eames Lounge Chair or the Eames Plastic Chair. The Eames couple are among the most important personalities in the field of design in the 20th century. In addition to designing furniture, they also made films, took photographs and put together exhibitions.

Material and format

The seat shell of the Plastic Chairs is made of recyclable polypropylene. This allows it to be moulded, is environmentally friendly and offers outstanding seating comfort. You can also choose from a wide range of colours to suit your taste.

The DAR has a wire frame that is available chrome-plated or powder-coated. The powder-coated version is suitable for outdoor use. It is 62.5 cm wide, 60 cm deep and 83 cm high.

The seat height of 43 cm was only introduced in 2015, as the average height of the world's population has increased since the Eames Plastic Chairs were created. The following therefore applies to repeat orders: If you purchased your chairs before 2015, they will correspond to the seat height of 41.5 cm.

Note: Suitable for outdoor use. Special additives slow down fading due to UV radiation. If the chair is exposed to the sun for a longer period of time, the colour may still change. You should therefore not expose the chair to the sun for longer than necessary.

Finish:

Frame: white coated
Seat shell: Pale pink
Glides: White plastic glides
