The Plastic Chairs RE by Charles and Ray Eames were the very first chairs to be developed out of plastic for industrial production. Their organically shaped seat shells can be combined with a variety of different bases and are today manufactured by Vitra from recycled plastic. They are also optionally available with a seat cushion or full upholstery. With the Eames Plastic Stools RE, the black or chrome-plated four-legged base with a footrest comes in a choice of two heights: medium for standard kitchen counters and high for standing-height tables.
Material description
Seat shell: dyed-through, recycled polypropylene, 100% recyclable. All models are available with a seat cushion (screwed to the seat shell) or full upholstery. The fully upholstered version has moulded polyurethane foam padding covered in fabric, attached to the shell with a welted edge. Different shell and upholstery colours and various bases provide a multitude of possible combinations.
Note: due to the composition of the recycled material, the seat shell colours exhibit very subtle specks of pigment.
Options: the Eames Plastic Chair RE is available as a visitor chair, dining chair, rocking chair, swivel chair or in stacking versions and with ganging brackets for row seating. Beam-mounted shells are suited for use in waiting areas.
Base: tubular steel, chrome-plated or powder-coated, non-stackable. Ideal for use at counters and tables 110 to 120 cm in height.
Outdoor use: unupholstered version with powder-coated base suitable for utilisation outdoors on a temporary or seasonal basis, following care instructions.
