The Story Behind the Fiberglass Chair
The Eames Plastic Chair is one of the most important and best-known furniture designs of the twentieth century. Launched on the market in 1950, it was the first plastic chair to be mass produced. It also marked the introduction of the multifunctional chair whose shell can be combined with a variety of bases – a revolutionary idea that has since become widespread.
Today, Vitra manufactures the Eames Fiberglass Chairs in several of the original colours. The shells have the characteristic irregular surface of fibreglass, which appears almost like a natural material thanks to its clearly visible fibres.
The Eames Fiberglass Side Chairs can be combined with a wooden, four-legged or Eiffel Tower base. Vitra continues to produce the Eames Plastic Chairs with a polypropylene shell, and together with the Fiberglass Chairs, they form an extensive family, enabling countless variations with a suitable version for almost every purpose.
