Eames Fiberglass side chair DSX - chrome base

With the 2019 update, colour now links two product lines that have long belonged together: the Eames Plastic Chairs and Eames Fiberglass Chairs. An extensive process of research and analysis led to the creation of a harmonious palette in which the two groups of chairs reaffirm their affinity with one another.

Vitra carefully researched archival holdings and the vintage market to determine the historical use of colours by Charles and Ray Eames, and merged this knowledge with a broad-based analysis of current needs and market offers. Based on these findings, the colours of the Plastic Chair and Fiberglass Chair seat shells and the Hopsak cover fabric were revised in close collaboration with the Eames Office. The result is a richly interwoven collection of hues highlighting the special properties of the different materials. The interplay of vibrant and more subtle colours allows an easy combination of the Eames Plastic Chairs and Eames Fiberglass Chairs.
