Eames DSL RE Plastic Side Chair with Upholstered Seat

The Vitra Eames DSL Plastic Side Chair with the new La Fonda base is a modern version of the legendary Eames Fiberglass Chair.
 
Produced in collaboration with Zenith Plastics for the Museum of Modern Art in New York's Low-Cost Furniture Design Competition, it was the first industrially manufactured plastic chair. A timeless classic chair that looks great in any environment.
 
The DSR chair comes with a plastic shell and an upholstered seat pad to increase comfort.
 
From January 2024, the shells of the Eames Plastic Chairs have been made of recycled post-consumer plastic. These chairs are known as Eames Plastic Chairs RE. The recycling material stems from Germany's 'Yellow Bag' (Gelber Sack) collection of household waste, which primarily consists of used packaging.
 
Using the recycled material, instead of conventional plastic, generates fewer climate-damaging emissions and significantly reduces energy consumption.
 
Please note that this is an original, authentic Eames chair produced in Europe.
