Eames Upholstered Molded Plastic Side Chair, 4-Leg Base
from Herman Miller
designed by Charles and Ray Eames

At A Glance: The Eames® Upholstered Molded Plastic Side Chair with 4-Leg Base is an iconic piece of American design history. While you've often seen the side chair in school rooms and auditoriums, it is in its element in the home. Mid-century authenticity has never been more accessible - or comfortable. Exemplifying their mantra of "the best for the most for the least," this side chair boasts a minimalist design and sleek curves that make it stand out without having to shout.

What's To Like:

• Classic design. The Upholstered Molded Plastic Side Chair is recognizable anytime, anyplace - for good reason.
• The Shell Chairs - all of them - were among the first to have comfort as a priority during the design process. Waterfall seat edges and a curvy seat pocket give this chair an easygoing sit.

The Bottom Line: 
Original design, original comfort, original character. The Eames Upholstered Molded Plastic Side Chair's got them in spades. With all the new plastic and upholstery colors in Herman Miller's Palette, you'll have a great time choosing what vibe you want your chair to create.

Charles and Ray Eames adapted molding techniques developed during World War II to mass produce this classic design. These molded plastic side chairs are true to the originals and are fully authentic, with updated materials to meet environmental requirements. Their enduring forms and quality construction make them comfortable, durable performers.
