About the Eames DAR stoel
The shell chair family grew from Charles and Ray Eames their search for a comfortable chair that could be produced industrially. Early prototypes were developed for the MoMA "Low-Cost Furniture Design" competition of 1948. In 1950 the molded fiberglass chair was introduced commercially.
The rod base adds an open, architectural line under the shell. The recognizable shell keeps the chair simple, while the base changes the way it works in an interior.
How to choose the Eames DAR
Check table height, available room and the role of the chair before choosing. A model with armrests needs more width; a side chair is easier when many chairs stand next to each other.
Use calm colors for a quiet dining area, or choose a stronger color when the chair should become a visible design accent. Compare the family with design stoelen if you want to judge other shapes and bases.
