Eames Plastic Armchair

www.vitra.com/epc

Developed by Vitra in Switzerland

Design: Charles & Ray Eames

Charles & Ray Eames presented their

designs for the Plastic Chair Group
for the first time at the International
Competition for Low-Cost Furniture
Design sponsored by the Museum
of Modern Art in New York. In 1950,
the Plastic Side Chair and the Plastic
Armchair were the very first industrially produced plastic chairs to hit
the market. From the very start, the
Eameses designed different bases
for a range of applications and the
Plastic Chair became an icon of furniture design. In addition to domestic
living spaces, millions of them are
used in offices, health care institutions,
restaurants, lecture halls, airports and
sports stadiums.

The fully-upholstered organically-shaped seat shell offers even greater sitting comfort. The padded shell features piping in black or white.
