Eames Fiberglass Armchair

The Eames Molded Plastic & Fiberglass Armchair is a fiberglass chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames of the Eames Office, which appeared on the market in 1950. The chair was intentionally designed for the International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design. This competition, sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art, was motivated by the urgent need in the post-war period for low-cost housing and furnishing designs adaptable to small housing units. The chair was available in a variety of colors and bases, including the "Eiffel Tower" metal base, a wooden base, and a rocker base. The plastic fiberglass armchair is one of the most iconic designs by Charles and Ray Eames, and remains popular today.
