Overview

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
Charles and Ray Eames adapted molding techniques developed during World War II to mass produce this classic design. Available in side and armchair versions, Today's Molded Plastic Chairs are true to the originals and are fully authentic, with updated materials to meet environmental requirements.

Charles and Ray Eames, always interested in new materials, saw in plastic the chance to form organic seat shells that conform to the body’s shape. The enduring forms and quality construction make the Molded Plastic Chairs - available here with a classic Eames wire base - comfortable, durable performers.

Eames DSR - Molded Plastic Side Chair with Wire Base

The Design:

New materials, especially those that held promise for doing more with less, fascinated Charles and Ray Eames throughout their careers. Their fascination led to inventive modern furniture, such as the Molded Plastic Chair. Designed in 1948, it was the first plastic chair to be mass produced.
The current models look exactly the same as the originals. They remain unupholstered, in keeping with the Eameses requirement that materials be expressed honestly and unselfconsciously. In fact, these were the first one-piece plastic chairs to be left uncovered.
At the same time, the chairs are better than ever. For example, the shell is now manufactured using more environmentally friendly, high-impact plastic.

Landmark Design

Organic shape
Clean, simple form sculpted to fit the body
First presented at the Museum of Modern Art in 1948, the chairs have achieved a pervasive presence that proves the staying power of good design
Today's recreation looks the same as the original
Classic Eames wire base

Smart Construction

Durable design, even in public spaces
Choose from five colorful shells: black, light blue, lime green, red, or white
Many uses – in the home, office, café, reception area, or training room

Thoughtful Engineering

Designed for minimum environmental impact
Shells are recyclable polypropylene
Shell is dyed throughout so colors remain vibrant even after years of hard use
Rubber shock mounts where shell meets the base provide extended comfort

Classic for a reason

5.0

Product Review

This design is a classic for a reason. Not only does it look good, but for a hard-seated chair they are quite comfortable. Despite being a hard material, back flexes a bit, giving it a softer, conformal feel. Be aware, while these are the official Eames/Herman Miller chairs, they are not quite the original design: these seats are nubbly polyethylene, not glossy fiberglass, and the base is screwed into the shell rather than being screwed to a rubber "shock mount" that is glued to the fiberglass in the original. I'm sure we will get more than our original four in the future, and perhaps some of the stacking version for additional seating.

I bought this as a desk chair that could transition to dining chairs. I love that when I want to add more to my collection, I know that they will continue to be available. I also have an eames rocker in white, which is a nice compliment to the wire base chairs.

Can't beat the speed of delivery. I guess I'm close to the warehouse, but my chairs arrived in 2 days from placing my order. It takes longer for my netflix to arrive!

I am using a set of these chairs for my dining room and love them. We have a toddler, so it's nice not to have to worry about any fabric. I know most people like the original fibreglass but I do like the pure white color of these chairs.

Herman Miller: The name is synonymous with innovation, design, operational excellence, smart application of technology, and social responsibility. Herman Miller, Inc. studies work and living environments and designs and delivers products and services that make these environments work better. Through problem-solving research and design, the company seeks to develop innovative solutions to real needs in working, healing, learning, and living environments.

Herman Miller began in 1923 as a manufacturer of traditional residential furniture, became a leader in "modern" furniture in the 1930s and 1940s; developed lasting ties through the 1950s with legendary industrial designers who led the company in new directions; transformed the office furniture industry with the first panel system in the 1960s; invented and refined ergonomic work seating in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s; reinvented the geometry of systems furniture in 2000, and is today the second largest office furniture company with customers and locations around the world. Their history of employee participation and ownership and technological innovation has long roots and continues to grow. They have always worked hard to be serious about both people and business. They look at their primary goal as creating great places to work.

George Nelson laid out five tenets of Herman Miller's design philosophy 50 years ago:

What you make is important.
Design is an integral part of the business.
The product must be honest.
You decide what you will make.
There is a market for good design.

While fashion and style have their place, the main criterion for a Herman Miller product has remained constant: Does it truly solve a problem that people care about in a way that improves upon other solutions, or pioneers a new and better answer altogether? The answer is Yes.
