“The Plastic Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames were the very first chairs to be developed out of plastic for industrial production. Their organically shaped seat shells can be combined with a variety of different bases. The DAX chair (Dining Height Armchair X-Base) has a visually understated four-legged tubular steel base…” -text: Vitra
