'Wire Chair DKW-5

❤️ YOUR GIFT ❤️ Vitra Toolbox with a Vitra purchase >500 CHF

A formal variation of the famous 'Eames Plastic Chair' is this wiry fellow that I present to you today.

With the 'Wire Chair' made of welded steel wire, Charles and Ray Eames varied the theme of the organically shaped, one-piece seat shell with an expression of light transparency and high technicality. This also gives it a slightly archaic appearance, which I personally like immensely.

The wooden base of the DKW model creates a homely contrast to the fundamentally technical appearance. The metal parts of the 'DKW' are powder-coated black, and the four chair legs come in a variety of maple woods.

An iconic chair with a unique personality from the house of 'Vitra', which can equally show in multitude at the dining table or as a soloist in the bedroom or corridor.
