Treat yourself to an iconic ORIGINAL by Vitra. An original will always retain its value. It will be with you all your life and will outlive you, being passed on to the next generation. The Swiss company Vitra is the only company authorized to manufacture Charles & Ray Eames products for Europe: if you are in possession of an Eames product made by Vitra, you can be sure that it is an original.

Charles & Ray Eames are among the most important design personalities of the 20th century. Launched in 1948, their iconic Shell Flesh chairs are among the most important creations in furniture history. In the 1950s, Charles and Ray began experimenting with bent and welded wire. With the Wire Flesh, they used welded steel wire to reproduce the organically shaped seat shell of their Eames Plastic Side Flesh. In this wire version, the steel wire technique is entirely at the service of transparency and lightness. Harry Bertoia drew inspiration from the Wire Chair to design his famous Diamond chair for competitor Knoll, who retained his services after he had helped design the Wire Chair in the Eames workshop...

This inimitable classic is extremely robust and suitable for use in restaurants, canteens, cafeterias and informal meeting areas. The Chromed steel version is for indoor use only. The Epoxy lacquered steel finish is also suitable for use in the garden or on the terrace.

This version of the Flesh comes with a removable Seat cushion.
The cushion is upholstered in Hopsak fabric: an expressive flat-weave plain weave in Polyamide. Highly durable and robust, this Fabric is suitable for both private and public interiors.

Whether in fiberglass, polypropylene or welded steel wire, Eames shell chairs are shaped to the human anatomy to offer a heightened level of comfort.
