1951 Eiffel Chair: Bikini

CAD $440

The Bikini Eiffel Chair by Charles & Ray Eames, Model DKR-2, was originally designed in 1951. Known for its “Eiffel Tower” wire base and distinctive wire mesh seat and back that provide strength and a visually light, airy structure. Its shape conforms to the body, eliminating the need for excessive padding or upholstery. This model includes the “bikini” upholstery, which consists of a compact two-piece seat and back cushion that adds extra comfort while maintaining the chair’s sleek appearance. The metal seat and back Eiffel Chair design is an adaptation of their earlier fiberglass shell chairs. The DKR-2 chair was inspired by the Eameses’ fascination with wire products, like trays and baskets, which they saw as practical and modern. The Bikini Eiffel side chair design is one of the most ubiquitous furniture designs in the world, immediately recognizable in homes, offices, and pop culture. Buy it online in Canada.
