The Plastic Armchairs designed by Charles and Ray Eames in the 1950s were presented for the first time as part of the 'Low Cost Furniture Design' competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The shell with its organic lines was originally made of fibreglass. Reissued by
Vitra with a polypropylene shell, the
Eames Plastic LAR (Lounge Height Armchair Rod Base) has a low steel wire base, which gives the chair good stability and great lightness. Thanks to its compact dimensions and the wide range of colours available for the shell, the
Plastic Chair LAR can be integrated into a variety of styles and types of furnishings. Thanks to the organic shape of this classic armchair,
LAR is a striking solo piece of furniture but can also be combined with many types of sofa to form an attractive contrast.
