Vitra updated the material of the seat part of DSR chairs to recycled plastic at the beginning of 2024. The white "old plastic" DSR chair will be available until 2024.
Vitra's Eames DSR chairs are the handiwork of designer couple Charles and Ray Eames from the 1950s. At that time, the seat parts of the chairs were made of fiberglass, but nowadays, time-lasting polypropylene has also come alongside. The abbreviation DSR in the name of the chair comes from the words "Dining height Side chair Rod base", which also emphasizes the unique leg structure of the DSR chair, which is suitable as a dining chair.
The familiar shapes designed by Charles and Ray Eames offer unbeatable sitting comfort. Ergonomic and timeless chairs with several leg options are suitable for many types of spaces. In 2015, Vitra renewed the dimensions of DSR chairs by slightly raising the leg structure and modifying the geometry of the seat even more perfectly to match the dimensions of today's people.
