Vitra’s Eames DSR chair is also known as the Eiffel chair due to the graphical cross structure formed by its metal legs. The name DSR comes from the words Dining Height Side Chair Rod Base. This chair has a powder-coated base that makes it perfect also for outdoor use.
The Plastic Eames chairs, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in the 1950s, are true design icons whose popularity lies in the ergonomic, timeless design and various leg options. The original model with a fibreglass seat was the first industrially produced plastic chair – today, the chair is available also in recycled plastic which is collected from households. When viewed up close, seats made from post-consumer recycled plastic may contain tiny specks of pigment that add a pleasing vibrancy to the surface of the chair.
In addition to the new material, Vitra also updated the Eames chairs in 2015 with slightly longer legs and readjusting the seat geometry.
