As the basis of the entire Vitra's Eames Plastic Chair collection, the Fiberglass chair is a true icon of modern furniture design. Once again available in all nine original colours, the chair is simplicity defined, with a moulded fiberglass shell joined with a delicate yet robust maple wooden base, combining structural strength with visual lightness. The clearly visible fibres give an eye-catching and totally unique texture, reflecting light in random, glistening patterns. Invest in a piece of design history today with a piece which is guaranteed to remain a perennial favourite for time to come. This chair is part of the Eames collection of shell chairs.
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”.
