The Eames DAX plastic chair with a black base was created by Ray and Charles Eames for the Vitra brand. A classic work of post-World War II design, it combines successful production techniques with timeless style.
The American Eames siblings became world-famous for their furniture and interior designs. In the 1950s, they almost single-handedly created the aesthetic of an era, using processed wood, leather, and simple forms to combine mass production and luxury in a completely new way.
Designs such as the Eames DAX plastic chair with a black base are characteristic of this period. Launched in 1950, the Eames chair was one of the first designs to be made from plastic. The siblings launched several different bases, all with the generously proportioned seat, but experimented with bases.
In this case, the Eames DAX plastic chair with a black base uses a four-leg tubular steel design. The chair is 83cm high and 62.5cm wide, while the seat height is 43cm. It can be used indoors or outdoors thanks to the use of durable and weather-resistant polypropylene. And wherever it is used, it will bring a touch of 1950s glamour.
