Iconic yet timeless, the Eames Fibreglass armchairs are an example of mid-century innovation which blends seamlessly into modern interiors. The DAW dining-height armchair features a four-legged wooden base.
Although their original prototype was in costly metal, they quickly identified glass-fibre reinforced polyester resin as an ideal, cheaper alternative. Until then, fibreglass had been primarily used within military applications, but the Eameses’ recognised its suitability for the furniture industry. With this material, they could create moulded, strong and lightweight seat shells for mass-production, and the Fiberglass Chair was born.
The collection of armchairs and side chairs share the original palette of warm natural colours developed by Charles & Ray Eames, plus a series of sturdy bases that give each chair its own distinct character.
