Details
The Eames Plastic Armchair was designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1950, and their Plastic Chairs became icons of American mid-century modernism. The Eameses described their goal as “getting the most of the best to the greatest number of people for the least”, and few of their designs came closer to it.
DAR stands for Dining height Armchair Rod base: a moulded, dyed-through polypropylene shell on the chrome wire base with cross struts often called the Eiffel base. This one has a lemon yellow shell and is the authentic Vitra version, made in Germany.

Design Story
Working from the United States from the 1940s onward, they approached design as a total system rather than isolated objects. Their work blended architecture, furniture, photography, film, and everyday life into one coherent vision.
They are best known for their long collaboration with Herman Miller, which helped bring their ideas into homes and offices worldwide. Together they created pieces that are still instantly recognisable today.
Among their most iconic designs is the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, a piece that combined plywood shell construction with luxurious comfort and became a global symbol of modern living. Earlier work like the LCW chair explored new ways of shaping wood into ergonomic forms, while their molded plastic chairs, including the DSW, brought accessible modern design into everyday dining rooms.
They also extended their thinking beyond furniture. The Eames House in California, part of the Case Study House program, shows their core philosophy clearly: modular structure, honest materials, and a deep respect for how people actually live.
The Eames legacy is not just a set of famous objects. It is a way of thinking about design as something that should be playful, useful, scalable, and deeply human at the same time.
