4 Eames DAR upholstered chairs by Vitra with the Eiffel base -RRP 749 per chair
A set of 4 Vitra DAR upholstered chairs, with the Eiffel base - Orange and Black
Charles and Ray Eames developed their chairs in the 1950s originally in fibreglass. These furnishings have become icons of American mid-century modernism.
In particular the DAR chair which stands for Dining height Arm Chair stands out as an inimitable classic design combining light elegant forms with structural strength in the intricate steel wire construction of its ‘Eiffel Tower’ base.
This is considered as one of the most iconic chairs in history and is often referred to instead as the Eiffel chair due to its base design. When the chair was originally designed in 1950 it was part of a series of different chairs from the Eames Office with the same chair shell featured on different interchangeable bases.
This created a chair for all kinds of purposes and was hugely popular.
This set is made from Polypropylene in Germany by Vitra in 2014

Good used condition, with some light fading to the fabric. One of the chairs the fabric has slightly detached from the foam causing it to balloon slightly (see photo)
