The basis of all Vitra’s Eames Plastic Chair collection, the Fiberglass chair is a true design icon. Available in nine coloured seats and with three different bases, the chair is simply defined, featuring a moulded fiberglass shell combined with a delicate yet robust ‘Eiffel Tower’ wire base, combining visual lightness with structural strength. The distinctive patina, a natural by-product of the fiberglass production process gives the chair its unique and highly memorable finish, which is certain to bring a distinguished sense of style to any space.
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”.
