The shape and form upon which the DKR-5 chair is based is a design classic, an instantly recognisable seat available here with a minimal yet comforting removable fabric cushion upholstered in beautiful Hopsak Nero fabric. The cross-welded steel wires of the backrest, seat and legs exude an industrial aesthetic, adding a robust yet subtle touch to a chair that is built to last decades.
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”.
