White plastic Eames DSW chair with wooden legs.

Produced today by Vitra the Eames DSW side chair emerged in 1950 as part of the Eames plastic chair collection for the MoMA Design Competition International Competition for Low Cost Furniture. With its warm wooden base the DSW is one of the most popular members of the Eames’ chair family a family whose one-piece plastic seat shells helped revolutionize furniture design. In close cooperation with the Eames Office Vitra developed and launched a color update in 2019 an adaptation which allows the the Eames Plastic Chairs to shine in a world of new shades and combinations.
