Eames Chair

The Eames chair (DSW/DAW) is a mid-century design icon. Plastic shell, wooden legs: it revolutionized accessible and beautiful furniture.

Eames chairs around a solid wood table = the perfect combo. In white for a classic look, in mismatched colors for fun.

Pitfall: fragile Eames replicas that yellow. If you buy a reproduction, check the quality of the plastic and the legs.

You can find economical versions of the Eames chair at online retailers or in wholesale furniture stores. However, be sure to check the quality of the materials and manufacturing before purchasing.

To care for your Eames chairs, use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the plastic shell. Clean the wooden legs with a suitable maintenance product. Avoid using abrasive products that could damage the surfaces.

The most popular colors for Eames chairs in a dining room are white, black, and gray. These neutral shades easily complement different decor styles and furniture. You can also opt for brighter colors like red or green to add a touch of personality.

You can arrange Eames chairs around your dining room table symmetrically, with an equal number of chairs on each side. You can also play with asymmetry by placing the chairs irregularly to create a more relaxed look.

Eames chairs perfectly match mid-century or modern dining tables. You can also combine them with other designer pieces such as a sideboard, an enfilade, or a contemporary chandelier to create a cohesive ensemble.
