As the very first industrially produced plastic chair, the Eames Plastic Chair
was originally developed by the Eameses for the ‘Low-Cost Furniture Design’
competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art. Besides the Eames
Plastic Chair RE in recycled plastic, the design is also available as the Eames
Fiberglass Chair made of glass-fibre reinforced polyester resin.
The organically shaped shell of the Eames Plastic Chairs RE can be paired
with different bases for use in a broad range of settings: from the dining
room or home office to the garden. Combined with a choice of colours and
a variety of upholstery versions, it is possible to create the ideal chair for
individual needs.
Eames Shell Chairs, Charles & Ray Eames, 1950
Utilising this recycled material instead
of conventional plastic generates 54% less
climate-damaging emissions, with a
significant reduction in energy consumption.
