Chair Classic - Eames Plastic Side Chair DSR
The Eames Plastic Side Chair is undoubtedly one of the absolute classics in home furnishings. Originally designed in 1948, it went into production in 1950, becoming the first serially manufactured plastic chair in design history.
Classic Form - New Seat Height
The design icon by Ray and Charles Eames is available with various seat shells and bases. With a wide range of colors, the chairs can be customized to suit individual preferences. Since 2015, the classic has also been offered with a new base at an adjusted height of 43 cm. This updated height reflects Vitra’s adaptation of the chair to the average body height, which has increased by 10 cm since the chair’s initial design in 1948.
Starting in 2024, all seat shells of the Eames Plastic Chairs by Vitra will be made from recycled post-consumer plastic sourced from Germany’s household waste collection system "Der Gelbe Sack." Exception: the color white 04 will remain available in the original material until the end of 2024.
Thanks to the minimal height difference, the new and "old" versions of the chair can be effortlessly combined, allowing existing seating arrangements to be extended and supplemented as desired.
Multi-functional Chair
With its polypropylene seat shell and delicate wire base, the Eames Plastic Side Chair DSR (Dining Height Side Chair Rod Base) is both robust and versatile. As a classic, the Eames Chair is equally at home in living spaces such as dining rooms, kitchens, or lounges, as well as in cafés, waiting areas, restaurants, and other facilities.
