Eames Molded Plastic Dowel Leg Side Chair by Herman Miller
designed by Charles and Ray Eames
Charles and Ray Eames believed that comfort was as important as looks. This iconic chair by one of the most renowned design duos of the last century is now available with a dowel leg base. A brilliant reintroduction - the wooden dowel legs give the molded plastic chair a softer feel, and yet the metal rods connecting the legs hint at the geometric form that this chair's base is famous for.
