The DAR Eames Plastic Armchair is a contemporary update of one of the iconic Fiberglass Chairs designed by Charles and Ray Eames for the 1948 MoMA "Low-Cost Furniture Design" competition. Originally conceived to address the demand for affordable furniture, these chairs became the first industrially produced plastic seating models, revolutionizing modern design.

A Timeless Icon

The DAR model, distinguished by its signature Eiffel Tower base, exemplifies the perfect blend of structural strength, industrial innovation, and aesthetic lightness. It remains a timeless piece in modern design history—an elegant and comfortable armchair with undeniable character.

Sustainable Evolution

As of January 2024, Vitra’s Eames Plastic Chairs have been rebranded as Eames Plastic Chairs RE, reflecting their new environmentally conscious production. The seats are now made from post-consumer recycled plastic, sourced from Germany’s domestic waste collection system ("Yellow Sack"). This transition significantly reduces climate-damaging emissions and energy consumption, marking a new era of sustainable design.

Material & Color:

• Base: Basic Dark
• Shell: Forest/woods

With its rich history and forward-thinking innovation, the DAR Eames Plastic Armchair RE continues to be a symbol of modernism, comfort, and sustainability.
