Eames® Molded Recycled Plastic Side Chair – White

A legend reborn: This iconic Eames® Molded Side Chair is now made from 100% post-industrial recycled plastic. Charles and Ray Eames adapted molding techniques developed during World War II to produce their classic molded plastic shell chair’s simple, gracious form. After their debut at the MoMA’s Low-Cost Furniture Design competition in 1948, the Eames Shell Chairs were launched in 1950. They were among the first plastic chairs designed by the Eameses to be mass-produced. The current models are an exact reproduction of the originals, with a clean, simple form that is sculpted to fit any body. The Eames Molded Recycled Plastic Armchair’s shell sits atop a base of wire-enforced or wooden dowel legs. This simple, gracious design makes a stylish statement anywhere in your home. The Eameses and the manufacturer Herman Miller® are represented in MoMA’s collection.
