The DSW is unique in its balance of comfort and sleek style, with its shell moulded to fit the contours of the human body, putting comfort on par with its iconic design and versatility. Originally produced in fibreglass, this polypropylene version was envisioned as a more environmentally conscientious alternative to the then-resources intensive process of fibreglass production. Place your DSW at your dressing table, in the home office or around the Vitra EM dining table. This chair is part of the Eames collection of shell chairs.
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”.
