The compact Plastic Chair LSR, a beloved design by Charles and Ray Eames, was a staple in their iconic Eames House in Pacific Palisades, often used for intimate conversations with guests. Unlike the Fiberglass Chair LSR, this versatile model is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Starting January 2024, Vitra has transitioned to producing the Eames Plastic Chairs RE using recycled post-consumer plastic sourced from Germany's 'Yellow Bag' household waste collection, primarily composed of used packaging. This eco-friendly approach not only reduces climate-damaging emissions but also significantly lowers energy consumption. The recycled material gives the seat shells a unique speckled appearance across various color options. The Eameses' vision of creating functional, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing furniture is perfectly embodied in these chairs, which were the first mass-produced plastic chairs in history, debuting in 1950. Vitra continues to honor this legacy by offering a wide range of customizable options, including different bases, shell colors, and upholstery, making the chairs adaptable to diverse settings—from homes and offices to public spaces and gardens. Additionally, a 3D file of the product is available for download, allowing for detailed visualization and planning.

vitra > Chair
The Plastic Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames are among the most important designs in the history of furniture. Following their initial presentation at the 'Low Cost Furniture Design' competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art in 1948, the chairs were launched on the market in 1950 in an armchair version (A-shell) and as a simpler side chair (S-shell) – making them the first ever mass-produced chairs made of plastic. <br/><br/>With the debut of their Plastic Chairs, Charles and Ray Eames introduced a new furniture typology that has since spread around the globe: the multifunctional chair whose shell can be joined with a variety of different bases. Already in 1950, they presented a series of bases that enabled various sitting positions, including the low-slung LAR (Lounge Height Armchair Rod Base). <br/><br/>The LAR seems to have been one of Charles and Ray's favourite designs: it can be spotted in numerous vintage photographs of the legendary Eames House in Pacific Palisades – both indoors and out. This also reveals how lightweight the chair is, and how easily it can be moved around.<br/><br/>Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Plastic Chair LAR can also be used in smaller interiors, and the wide choice of colours for the shell, upholstery fabric, and base can be coordinated with diverse styles and settings. The steel wire base, which achieves maximum stability with minimum materials, acquired a charming nickname within just a short time on the market as a result of its unusual form: 'Cat's Cradle' – in reference to the children's string game.<br/><br/>Due to the organic shape of this classic armchair, the LAR is a striking solo piece, but it can also be paired with many types of sofas to create an appealing contrast. Especially in the version with full upholstery, the LAR offers long-lasting comfort, making this modestly sized armchair an excellent seating option for any living space.
