The DKR was designed in 1951 thanks to Charles and Ray’s love for experimentation, progress and prowess. The gridded wire frame emphasises the chairs graceful appearance, in any space. For the DKR-2 version a padded cushion is added to the chair, forming a striking crossed pattern that is an eye-catching addition to any space, available in either fabric or leather.
American husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound influence on the visual character of American life, producing original work within the fields of architecture, furniture design, industrial design, manufacturing and the photographic arts.
The Eames’ first partnered with Vitra in 1957 to produce some of the most iconic pieces of furniture in the history of interior design. Today Vitra continues to reflect their philosophy on design and functionality, best understood through Charles’ own words: “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design”.
