Vitra Eames Plastic Armchair RE DAL Full Upholstery

Manufacturer: Vitra

Designer: Charles & Ray Eames 1950

This is an original genuine Vitra piece.

Plastic Armchairs were first presented as part of a New York Museum of Modern Art competition Low Cost Furniture Design. Their organically shaped plastic seat shells were later combined with various different bases and manufactured in their millions. In their latest version made of polypropylene the armchairs now offer even greater sitting comfort.

To complement the product line the fully-upholstered plastic chair has been re-launched. The organically shaped upholstered shells are particularly comfortable and radiate a homely atmosphere. The hopsak cover is available in 13 colours and can be combined with the eight colours of seat shell. The upholstery is fixed to the shell with black or white piping.

Materials: Seat shell: dyed-through, recycled polypropylene, 100% recyclable. with base in chrome and powder coated upholstery in hopsack fabric.

All models are available with a seat cushion (screwed to the seat shell) or full upholstery. The fully upholstered version has moulded polyurethane foam padding covered in fabric, attached to the shell with a welted edge. Different shell and upholstery colours and various bases provide a multitude of possible combinations.

Note: due to the composition of the recycled material, the seat shell colours exhibit very subtle specks of pigment.

Dimensions: Width: 63cm x Depth: 60.5cm x Height: 81.5cm (seat height: 41.5cm)

Options: The Eames Plastic Chair RE is available as a visitor chair, dining chair, rocking chair, swivel chair or in stacking versions and with ganging brackets for row seating. Beam-mounted shells are suited for use in waiting areas.
