2. Seat shells made from recycled material in 14 colors

Over the course of its production history, the Eames Plastic Chair has been continuously developed and adapted. Since January 2024, the shells of the chair have been made from recycled post-consumer plastic from the German household waste collection system "Gelber Sack". As the seat shells are made from upcycled household packaging, they may contain tiny specks of color.
