The Eames LSR Plastic Side Chair RE was designed in 1950 by Charles and Ray Eames as part of their plastic family. The compact LSR chair was a favourite of Charles and Ray Eames: they used the low LSR chair throughout the Eames House, their legendary home in Pacific Palisades, as needed and especially when engaging in conversation with guests. Unlike the Fiberglass LSR, the LSR Plastic Side Chair RE can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Since the 1950s the organically shaped seat shell of the Plastic Side Chair has been combined with various bases and produced in the millions. In the current recycled polypropylene version, the side chair generates fewer climate-changing emissions and consumes significantly less energy during production. Also, its curved design provides even greater seating comfort. The metal bases are either chromed or powder-coated.
The chair can be paired with a Vitra Soft Seats (Type B) for maximum comfort.
