The Eames Plastic Side Chair DSL, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, is characterised by its striking four-legged tubular steel base, which gives the classic a particularly clear and straightforward aesthetic. As the sole licence holder, Vitra manufactures this design in various versions, whereby the seat shell has been consistently made from resource-saving recycled material since 2024. In contrast to the DAL armrest version, this model presents itself as a slender side chair that fits into a wide variety of living and working areas thanks to its functional design. The combination of historical design standards and modern sustainability makes this model a timeless piece of furniture for contemporary interiors.

The familiar colours of the seat shells do not change as a result of this change in material. However, on closer inspection, tiny pigments of a different colour may be visible in the light seat shell colours. These pigments are not a defect, but a characteristic of the new sustainable material. The following is a comparative example of the colour "ice grey" in high magnification - the new Material is shown on the right! |
