Charles Eames DSW Chair

The Eames DSW Chair merges Charles Eames' love of plastic with the rustic appeal of wood. Our STIN Eames DSW Chair stays true to the original blueprint and is a joy to look at, touch and feel. The shell is moulded to the shape of the body and available in shiny fibreglass, matt plastic or cashmere. The unique Eiffel tower legs are constructed from beech wood and steel. Like the original, our plastic version displays round markings on the seat. This is a natural result of the legs meeting the material. The Charles Eames DSW Chair comes in several colours including white, orange, red, black, blue and green furniture options. 

The story behind the Charles Eames DSW Chair

Created in 1948, the Charles Eames DSW Chair forms part of a series of moulded plastic chairs designed by the husband and wife team, Charles and Ray Eames. Each DSW Chair has the same ergonomically designed seat combined with different bases and arm styles. They are identified by their initials – for example, DSW stands for Dining chair, Side chair with a Wood base. This series of chairs has the iconic status of being the first industrially manufactured plastic chairs. Like its matching armchair, the Charles Eames DAR Chair, the DSW Dining Chair has a deep seat pocket with a curved high back and waterfall seat edge to provide extra comfort.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Charles Eames

Charles, 1907-1978 (United States) - Ray, 1912-1988 (United States)

Charles Eames was an American designer and innovator who pioneered new techniques, such as the fibreglass and plastic resin moulding and wire mesh frames. He usually worked alongside his wife, Ray, though he is often credited alone. In the 1940s, the designers began focusing on the new plastics and were excited by the properties the material held. They were able to mould the plastics into organic shapes that followed the shape of the body. This discovery led to a whole new look in furniture that perfectly captured the spirit of the times. The couple’s most iconic designs include the DAR chair, the DSR Dining Chair, the RAR Rocker, the DSW Dining Chair, the EA 108 Office Chair and the Wire Base Table. Many of these were first presented at the New York Museum of Modern Art’s Low-Cost Furniture Design Competition in the late 1940s.
