Defined by an organic, curvaceous seat shell, topped upon a slender metal frame, the dining chair's simple, lightweight design is a highly adaptable addition to a contemporary interior space. Boasting an innovative fibreglass construction, now regarded as one of the best-known furniture designs of the twentieth century, the lively irregular surface appears almost like a natural material thanks to its clearly visible fibres. Available here in a selection of the earliest colours developed by Charles and Ray Eames, the Fiberglass Side Chair's pleasant tactile qualities and a perfectly moulded form create a stylish seat space of optimal comfort.
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”.
