Provenance and Background Info
Plastic designer chairs by legendary American designers Ray and Charles Eames. These are AUTHENTIC Eames originals by Vitra, Germany- fully marked. This particular set was made in 2005 and sold in 2006. The COMFORT of this enduring design is legendary- these chairs are amazing to settle into- great support and a nice rounded form that seems to hug you.
These are high-quality originals made from polypropylene. Charles and Ray Eames created their first successful single-shell form way back in 1950 with their Moulded Fibreglass chairs. However when the environmental risks of using fibreglass became realised the decision was made to discontinue the fibreglass production in the late-1980’s until a more suitable material could be found. In 2001 Herman Miller re-introduced the Moulded Fibreglass chairs in 100% recyclable polypropylene. The added benefit of polypropylene is that these chairs are intensely durable- the chances of these breaking is virtually zero.
I can’t find retail values online at the moment- the Vitra originals would have to be worth at least AU$500 EACH. The Eames chairs made by Vitra with the wooden dowels are retailing for at least AU $1000 EACH. At our price, these high-quality designer chairs are a no-brainer investment.
If a chair designed in the 1950’s is still being made today and blends in any furniture shop, the ingeniousness of this timeless design is obvious. And if chairs made in 2005 can look like this after 16 years of use, the durability is just as obvious. No guessing how well these chairs will hold up to use- the proof is in the condition of these chairs. There are very few better ways to reduce landfill and protect our environment for future generations.
