Available in nine colours, the chair is simplicity defined, featuring a moulded fiberglass shell joined to a delicate yet robust metal base in either powder coated black, combining structural strength with visual lightness. The basis of all Vitra's Eames Plastic Chair collection, the Fiberglass Side Chair is a true interiors icon, with the clearly visible fibres housing a distinctive texture, that is unique to each chair. To bring an Eames Side Chair into the home is to bring a piece of design history in to the home. A complete range of chairs is available in the Eames collection.
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”.
