Eames Molded Plastic Armchair - Low Wire Base

Playful, disciplined, iconic. An authentic Charles and Ray Eames design, the Eames Molded Plastic Armchair - Low Wire Base from Herman Miller brings back the beloved single-shell piece introduced in 1950 with a durable, sustainable material that follows the trajectory of the couple’s extensive material studies. Over half a century ago, the Eameses set out to create a single-shell chair that matched their meticulous approach to design centered on functionality and playfulness. While fiberglass helped achieve the Eameses vision then, polypropylene emerged over half a century later as a tough, 100% recyclable material matching the couple’s feelings for the environment. This authentic Eames design has every contour originally sketched, sculpted, and molded by Charles and Ray. Its curves hug the body and please the eyes. The ‘cats cradle’ metal base highlights the “serious fun” approach of the Eameses as it takes its name from the hand and string game. The chair’s inclusion in the Moma collection underlines its impact on the field of design and manufacturing.
