| Material | Base: Steel wire with bracing Seat shell: dyed-through polypropylene (white) or dyed-through RE plastic (all other colours) Please note: The RE plastic employed for the Eames Plastic Chair seat shells is composed of granules of recycled plastics from the German "Yellow Sack" packaging recycling system and approx. 10% fibreglass material to achieve the necessary rigidity. The familiar colours of the seat shells do not change as a result of this material change. However, with the lighter seat shell colours tiny pigments of differently coloured granules may be visible upon closer inspection. These pigments do not represent a defect, but are a feature of the new sustainable material. Below is a comparative example of the colour "ice grey" in high magnification - the new material is on the right.  |

What does the designation RE stand for in Eames Plastic Side Chair RE LSR?
The designation RE means that the Eames Plastic Side Chair RE LSR is made from recycled plastic, a material from which the Eames Plastic Chairs RE have been produced since the beginning of 2024. With the introduction of the new sustainable material, three new colour nuances were also introduced, the new white “Cotton White”, the new yellow “Citron” and the new green “Emerald”, which replace the previous colours white, sunlight and green respectively.
Which colours are new for the Vitra Eames Plastic Side Chair RE LSR after the RE material update?
The colours white, yellow and green differ from the original colours in the new recycled Eames Plastic Chairs version.
Will the Eames Plastic Side Chair RE LSR continue to be produced in the non-recycled material?
No, manufacture of the Eames Plastic Chairs in the unrecycled material version will cease in early 2024 and in the future only the sustainable material will be employed in the Eames Plastic Side Chair RE LSR.
