Wire Stool Medium
Charles & Ray Eames, 1951
The Shell Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames are counted among the most important furniture designs of the twentieth century. Made from welded steel wire, the Wire Chair is a variation on the theme of the organically shaped seat shell, embodying transparency and technical sophistication. The four-legged base of the Eames Wire Stools comes in a choice of two heights: medium for standard kitchen counters and high for standing-height tables. The base is equipped with a footrest and has a chrome-plated or black powder-coated finish. The Wire Stools are available either without upholstery, with a seat cushion or with a two-piece seat and back pad. The latter is also known as the 'Bikini' pad due to its shape. In the versions without upholstery, the Wire Stools are also suited for outdoor use.
Information
Wire Chair
Designed by Charles and Ray Eames out of welded steel wire, the Wire Chair is a variation on the theme of the organically shaped one-piece seat shell, combining transparent lightness with technical sophistication. The seat shell can be joined with a variety of different bases and optionally fitted with a seat cushion or a two-piece seat and back pad. The latter is also known as the 'Bikini' pad due to its shape – it comes in a fabric or leather version with a wide choice of colours and is permanently attached to the chair. It is additionally available as the removable 'Bikini Outdoor' model made of weather-resistant fabric for use in exterior settings. The Wire Chairs have a powder-coated finish; some models are also available in a chrome-plated version. All models with a powder-coated finish – except the DKW with wooden legs – may also be used outdoors.
