Herman Miller Eames Molded Plastic Armchair with 4-Leg Base
designed by Charles and Ray Eames

The Eames Molded Plastic Armchair is a bigger, more comfortable version of the classic Molded Plastic Side Chair. While you've often seen the side chair in school rooms and auditoriums, this model is a bit more substantial and supportive. Using revolutionary molding techniques, a series of different bases and their own renowned creative power, the Eames produced yet another classic with this beautiful variation. The pedigree, the comfort, and the many different base options. Just having a piece of furniture designed by Charles and Ray is a thrill, but one that's especially comfortable and creatively accomplished is something of a coup. Comfortable and stylish - the cornerstones of modern design. A great twist on a classic, designed by the folks who made the original! Comfy, lovely, and full of color.31.125" h x 25" w x 23.75" d

New Materials
New materials, especially those that held promise for doing more with less, fascinated Charles and Ray Eames throughout their careers. Their fascination led to inventive modern furniture, such as the molded plastic chair. Designed in 1948, it was the first plastic chair to be mass produced.

The current models looks exactly the same as the originals. They remain unupholstered, in keeping with the Eameses requirement that materials be expressed honestly and unselfconsciously. In fact, these were the first one-piece plastic chairs to be left uncovered.

At the same time, the chairs are better than ever. For example, the shell is now manufactured using more environmentally friendly, high-impact plastic.
