DSR Eames Fibreglass Chair

Vitra have re-introduced the original fibreglass version of Charles and Ray Eames' famous chair from 1950. The fibreglass shells are characterised by their lively visual appeal, which owes its charm to an irregular surface, and appears almost like a natural material thanks to its clearly visible fibres. Originally designed for the 'International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design', organised by the New York Museum of Modern Art. The Eameses recognised and fully exploited the advantages of fibreglass: mouldability, rigidity and suitability for industrial manufacturing methods.
