CAD $400

The Upholstered Seat Eiffel Chair by Charles & Ray Eames, Model DKR-5, was originally designed in 1951. Known for its “Eiffel Tower” wire base and distinctive wire mesh seat and back. This model includes an upholstered, padded seat that provides additional comfort while maintaining the chair’s light, airy structure. Its shape conforms to the body, eliminating the need for excessive padding. The metal seat and back Eiffel Chair design is an adaptation of their earlier fiberglass shell chairs. The DKR-5 chair was inspired by the Eameses’ fascination with wire products, like trays and baskets, which they saw as practical and modern. The Upholstered Seat Eiffel side chair design is one of the most ubiquitous furniture designs in the world, immediately recognizable in homes, offices, and pop culture. The Upholstered Seat Eiffel Chair by Charles & Ray Eames Model DKR-5 is available in Canada.

Shown in White Aniline Leather on Powder Coat White Steel Frame.
