“Let the largest possible audience benefit from the best for as little money as possible”. This is how Charles and Ray Eames themselves described one of their main goals as furniture designers. None of their other designs came as close to this ideal as the Plastic Chairs. For years, the designer couple deepened the basic idea of ​​a one-piece seat shell shaped to the human body. After experiments with plywood and aluminum sheet had yielded unsatisfactory results, their search for other materials eventually led to glass fiber reinforced plastic.

Today, Vitra produces the comfortable seat shells of the Eames Plastic Chairs in polypropylene. The Eames Plastic Chairs were also the first representatives of a new type of furniture that has since become very common: the multifunctional chair whose seat shell can be combined with different bases depending on the purpose of use. Nowadays Eames designs, specially made by Vitra are not for the largest audience anymore so if Charles and Ray succeeded in that part of their ideas…..

The DAL chair is equipped with the plastic shell and this set that we offer here has fully upholstered black fabric, which makes the chair with the leg construction characteristic of DAL a very comfortable dining table chair that can also be placed in any office and on which you can sit for a longer period of time. stay. The set is in very good condition consistent with age and use.
