Design Staying Power
As beloved today as when it was first introduced in 1948, the Eames molded plastic armchair features organic shapes and sleek lines. The first one-piece plastic chair offered without upholstery or other covering, it sits beautifully in many places in the home and in all kinds of décor.
-
Classic Comfort
The shell seats have high, flexible backs, deep seat pockets, and waterfall front edges so you can sit comfortably even for extended periods.
Swiveling glides keep the chair steady and level on uneven floors. The standard glide is also available with felt to protect hard-surface floors.
-
Colorful Variety
Originally produced in only three neutral colors—greige, elephant-hide grey, and parchment—the chair is now available in 10 colors that range from vibrant to subtle, and either a chrome or black base.

Good for the Earth
Shells are made of polypropylene—which is 100 percent recyclable. The plating process used for our trivalent chrome finish reduces environmental and health issues associated with other forms of chrome plating.

Answers
When the chair was originally introduced in 1948, the shells were made of fiberglass-infused plastic. We now use 100% recyclable polypropylene, which is a more ecological supportable material for the chair shells. We also moved the manufacturing of the chairs back to the USA, where it is today, to reduce our manufacturing footprint.
