Description
Pair of classic DKR wire chairs attributed to Charles Eames for Herman Miller (unmarked). The Eames DKR Wire Chair is a unique iteration in the shell chair’s continuous evolution. In the 1950s, the Eames Office started experimenting in bent and welded wire. Inspired by trays, dress forms, and baskets, the team developed a number of pieces, including the wire version of the single-shell form. These chairs are vintage, restored with a new coat of white enamel paint and custom made cushions. Even better, the cushions are reversible! Opt for the solid aqua blue side or jazz things up with the blue and white ikat pattern side. The chairs can be used indoors or outdoors. The cushion fabric is outdoor fabric, similar to Sunbrella. Charles Eames famously said, “The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.” With the molded plastic, fiberglass, and wood shell chairs—as well as the wire chair—the Eames have created a universal response to what everyone wants from a chair: a simple, gracious form that fits any body and every place.
