Eames DSR And DAW Chairs


DSR Chair

DSR Chair

The Eames DSR chair was nicknamed the “Eiffel” chair because of its chrome base and the shape of the base.  The DSR stands for dining-height, side chair, rod base.  The original chairs were made from fiberglass though nowadays it is being made from polypropylene.  Charles and Ray Eames continually updated their designs as newer materials became available.  It was after his death that the matt finish to his chairs that he so greatly desired was achieved.  These chairs have deep seat pockets which protect the back.  The waterfall seat edge protects the backs of thighs.  The DSR Chairs are popular in cafes and lounges since they can be manufactured in colors which suit the décor of the place.  Chairs are also weatherproof and ideally can be used in outdoor cafes and bars.  They are made in colors as varied as yellow, black, mauve, white, and cream.

Eames Daw

Eames Daw

The Eames DAW chairs are chairs with a wooden base. The DAW stands for dining height, armchair with wood base.  There have been variations made to the original design with the wooden dowel legs being available in different finishes including walnut, ash, or maple.  This design was originally presented in 1948 at a competition for low cost furniture designs.  The seats are extremely comfortable and hug the body.  They also have comfortable armrests.  The classic design ensures it enhances the aesthetics of any dining room.  The bar stools white are a perfect match for the Eames chairs and the right height for island or kitchen benches.
