The original Eames Fiberglass Side Chairs introduced a new typology that has been widely embraced in contemporary furniture - a versatile chair designed to pair with a variety of bases to serve different purposes and suit a range of aesthetic tastes. This version features the unique La Fonda base, a multi-columned pedestal structure developed by Charles Eames.
Reissued by Vitra in a selection of the early original shell colours, combined with a choice of sleek base finishes, the DSL Eames Fiberglass Side Chair is sure to liven up any interior space with its iconic design and distinctive textured appearance, derived from its visible fibres. Built to last, this classic piece offers enduring strength and style, making it ideal for both residential dining, upscale cafeterias or high-traffic hospitality venues.
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”.
