Boasting a light transparency and high technicality, the Eames DKX Wire Chair is a variation on the organically shaped one-piece seat shell.

The Wire Chair blends seamlessly with most contemporary interior designs and is a true icon of breakout seating.

Vitra Eames DKX Wire Chair - Upholstered Seat & Back FAQs

What does “DKX” stand for?

DKX refers to “Dining Height K-Wire X-Base.” It’s part of the Eames Wire Chair collection, designed with a sculptural wire shell and the distinctive cross-shaped “X” base.

 

What makes the DKX different from other Wire Chairs?

The DKX is dining height, making it ideal for use around tables. Unlike the LKR lounge version, the DKX sits higher and is specifically designed for dining and working spaces.

 

Is the chair comfortable?

Yes – the ergonomic wire frame is designed to follow the body’s contours. The fully upholstered seat and back provide additional comfort and a softer feel, making it well-suited to longer sitting periods.

 

What upholstery options are available?

Vitra offers a wide selection of fabrics and leathers in different colours. Customers can choose between understated, classic tones or bold shades to create a statement piece.

 

What finishes are available for the frame?

The wire frame is available in chrome-plated or powder-coated finishes, both of which are durable and stylish.

 

Where can I use the DKX Chair?

The DKX is perfect for dining rooms, kitchens, home offices, and stylish commercial interiors such as restaurants, cafés, and meeting rooms.

 

Does the upholstery come fixed or removable?

The upholstery is permanently fixed to the wire frame, forming an integral part of the design, rather than a removable cover.

 

How durable is the DKX Chair?

Extremely durable – the welded steel frame ensures stability, while the high-quality Vitra upholstery is designed for everyday use.

 

Why choose an original Vitra Eames Wire Chair?

Vitra produces the DKX to the original specifications set by Charles and Ray Eames in the 1950s, guaranteeing authenticity, comfort, and lasting value.
