The DSW is a variation on the classic Eames DAR – the world’s first plastic, mass-produced chair designed for a 1948 competition to create low cost furniture. Nicknamed the “Eiffel” because of the resemblance of its metal frame to the Paris landmark, it made joyous and innovative use of bright, bold plastics. However, the DSW departs from the original design by substituting wood for key elements of the original all-steel frame, creating a unique mix of traditional and modern materials. Like other DAR-derived chairs, the result is a piece that that you can use comfortably for hours at a time, whether as an occasional chair or as hardwearing, everyday seating in your home or office.Charles Eames and Ray Eames were the embodiment of the inventiveness, energy and optimism at the heart of mid-century modern American design, and have been recognized as the most influential designers of the 20th century.
As furniture designers, filmmakers, artists, textile and graphic designers and even toy and puzzle makers, the Eameses were a visionary and effective force for the notion that design should be an agent of positive change. They are the happy, ever-curious, ever-adventurous faces of modernism. Charles studied architecture and industrial design. Ray (née Beatrice Alexandra Kaiser) was an artist, who studied under the abstract expressionist Hans Hofmann. They met in 1940 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in suburban Detroit (where Charles also met his frequent collaborator Eero Saarinen and the artist and designer Harry Bertoia) and married the next year. His technical skills and her artistic flair were wonderfully complementary. They moved to Los Angeles in 1941, where Charles worked on set design for MGM. In the evenings at their apartment, they experimented with molded plywood using a handmade heat-and-pressurization device they called the “Kazam!” machine. The next year, they won a contract from the U.S. Navy for lightweight plywood leg splints for wounded servicemen — they are coveted collectibles today;
more so those that Ray used to make sculptures. The Navy contract allowed Charles to open a professional studio, and the attention-grabbing plywood furniture the firm produced prompted George Nelson, the director of design of the furniture-maker Herman Miller Inc., to enlist Charles and (by association, if not by contract) Ray in 1946. Some of the first Eames items to emerge from Herman Miller are now classics: the “LCW,” or Lounge Chair Wood, and the “DCM,” or Dining Chair Metal, supported by tubular steel. The Eameses eagerly embraced new technology and materials, and one of their peculiar talents was to imbue their supremely modern design with references to folk traditions. Their “Wire Chair” group of the 1950s, for example, was inspired by basket weaving techniques. The populist notion of “good design for all” drove their “Molded Fiberglass” chair series that same decade, and also produced the organic-form, ever-delightful “La Chaise.” In 1956 the “Lounge Chair” and ottoman appeared — the supremely comfortable plywood-base-and-leather-upholstery creation that will likely live in homes as long as there are people with good taste and sense.
Charles Eames once said, “The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.” For very good collectors and thoughtful interior designers, a piece of design by the Eameses, the closer produced to original conception the better, is almost de rigueur — for its beauty and comfort, and not least as a tribute to the creative legacy and enduring influence of Charles and Ray Eames.Eames White Replica Designer Chair Sign up to get notified when this product is back in stock Regular Price: $49.00 Special Price $24.90 Availability: Sold OutSeller Email to a Friend Product DescriptionCharles and Ray Eames are arguably one of the most accomplished furniture and architectural designer duos in history.

Looks like the real deal! For people who loves the design of Eames chairs, yet can't afford them the ones from FortyTwo appears to be the cheapest around. Comfortable definitely!beautiful Overall a beautiful chair. Theres some watermark on the chair, which is only noticeable from some angle. Cheap n useful Good design..stylishBeautiful, flawed Really love the chair's design. But its beauty is flawed. Note a few points: 1. The water stains on the chair are quite perceptible with the white color, but nothing absolutely guy-wrenching. 2. Nothing I've tried seems to get the stains off. 3. The chairs are super strong and can hold my 90kg weight. 4. The bolts need tightening immediately upon delivery.
