Eames Molded Fiberglass Armchairs Set-of-6

The Eames Molded Fiberglass Armchair with Dowel-Leg Base (often referred to as the "DAW" or Dining Height Armchair Wood Base) is a cornerstone of mid-century modern design. Created by Charles and Ray Eames, it represents one of the first successful attempts to mass-produce a comfortable, high-quality chair from a single shell. Core Design Elements The chair is defined by the marriage of industrial materials and organic warmth: • The Shell: A deeply contoured armchair "bucket" made from polyester reinforced with fiberglass. This material is prized for its visible fibers, matte finish, and durability. • The Base: A sculptural "dowel" base consisting of four maple or walnut legs supported by a delicate "cat's cradle" of black or chrome steel wires. • The Connection: The shell is attached to the base via rubber shock mounts, which allow the chair to flex slightly with the sitter’s movements.o
