Originally discontinued in the ’90s, Vitra is now relaunching the original Eames Fiberglass Chair.
Available in six of the original colors, Vitra worked in close collaboration with the Eames office to develop a completely new manufacturing method based on advancements in fiberglass production methods. The shell style chairs feature the same irregular surface texture defined by visible fibers found on the line discontinued in the ’90s. Treasured by collectors and design enthusiasts, the original Eames Fiberglass Chair has stood as an important design and furniture icon that has informed many of the designs we see today.
The reissue of the original Eames Fiberglass Chair is available now from Vitra in Europe and the Middle East, and at Herman Miller in other regions.
In case you missed it, Tom Sachs recently released a limited edition Shop Chair.
