Vitra Eames Wire Chair DKW-5 Seat Pad

Manufacturer: Vitra

Designer: Charles Ray & Eames, 1951

This is an original genuine Vitra piece.

The Wire Chair was created the same year as the Eames Plastic Chair and, like this chair, is a sign of Charles and Ray Eames intense study of the design of the one-piece, organically shaped seat shell. The seat shell of chrome-plated steel wires gives the amazingly comfortable chair the expression of technical lightness.

Now the Wire Chair is available with a dark powder coating. This emphasises the transparency of the seat shell and gives the chair a homely touch. DKW, another new model with a wooden base, amplifies this homely touch even further. For the maple base, various wood shades are available.
