The Eames DAW (Dining Armchair Wood) was born from Charles and Ray Eames’ revolutionary experiments with molded plastic in the late 1940s. First introduced in 1948 as part of the Museum of Modern Art’s “Low-Cost Furniture Design” competition, the shell chair represented a turning point in modern furniture—affordable, durable, and elegantly minimal.What distinguishes the DAW is its sculptural clarity. The molded plastic shell is contoured to support the body’s natural posture, with integrated armrests that provide comfort without visual weight. Paired with solid beech wood dowel legs, the chair achieves a balance of warmth and refinement that has made it one of the most enduring designs of the 20th century.More than 70 years after its debut, the Eames shell chair remains as relevant as ever. Its silhouette appears in dining rooms, offices, cafés, and creative spaces worldwide—a testament to design that prioritizes function, versatility, and timeless aesthetic appeal. This faithful reproduction honors the original while offering the crisp white finish and durable construction that define contemporary living.DimensionsOverall Height: 83cm Seat Height: 45cm Armrest Height: 70cm Armrest Length: 33cm Shell Width: Approximately 63cm Shell Depth: Approximately 59cmDesign & ComfortThe DAW chair is designed for everyday use. Its molded ABS plastic shell is contoured to cradle the body, with a gentle waterfall edge that reduces pressure on the legs and a supportive backrest that follows the spine’s natural curve. The integrated armrests are positioned at a comfortable height, making the chair ideal for extended sitting during meals, work, or conversation.The shell’s smooth, UV-coated finish resists fading and is easy to clean—simply wipe with a damp cloth to remove stains or spills. The crisp white colorway offers timeless versatility and visual lightness, brightening any space while complementing a wide range of interior styles. The natural beech wood legs add warmth and organic contrast, creating a harmonious balance between modern and natural materials.The dowel leg base is both sturdy and visually light. Each leg is crafted from solid beech wood and finished with a protective lacquer to ensure durability. The legs are connected by steel crossbars for added stability, and the assembly process is straightforward—four screws and an Allen key (included) are all that’s needed to attach the shell to the base in under 10 minutes.Despite its compact profile, the DAW is built to last. The molded plastic construction resists warping, cracking, and wear, while the wooden legs provide a stable, scratch-resistant foundation.Available Models & ColorsThe Eames shell chair is offered in several configurations:DAW – Dining Armchair Wood (with armrests, wooden dowel legs)DSW – Dining Side Chair Wood (without armrests, wooden dowel legs)DAR – Dining Armchair Rod (with armrests, chrome steel wire legs)DSR – Dining Side Chair Rod (without armrests, chrome steel wire legs)Shells are available in a wide range of colors, including white, black, light blue, gray, yellow, red, green, and more.
