Charles & Ray Eames Charles and Ray Eames are counted among the most important fi gures of twentieth-century design. Their work spans the fi elds of furniture design, fi lmmaking, photography and exhibition design. Vitra is the sole authorised manufacturer of Eames products for Europe and the Middle East.
When you own an Eames product made by Vitra, you know it is an original.
The Eames Plastic Chairs are renewed versions of the legendary Fiberglass Chairs. The original, which was the very fi rst industrially produced plastic chair, was jointly developed with Zenith Plastics for the ‚Low-Cost Furniture Design‘ competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art. In the current version made of polypropylene, these chairs are even more comfortable.
The wide selection of bases makes it possible to use the chairs in a variety of settings: from the dining room or home offi ce to the garden. Shells come in a broad range of colours and upholstery versions, so that components can be mixed and matched to fi nd the perfect chair for individual needs.

In 2015, Vitra adapted the seat geometry and height of the Eames Plastic Chairs to today‘s requirements and also expanded the selection of colours with six new shades.
The Eames Plastic Armchair is comple-mented by the Eames Plastic Side Chair without armrests.

Cover fabricsTo care for cover fabrics, simply hoover dust and lint regularly using an upholstery nozzle. Stain removal: Fresh stains can usually be removed quickly by wiping immediately with an absorbent, lint-free sponge or cloth. Start from the outer edge of the stain and work towards the centre to avoid creating a halo eff ect. We recommend using normal household distilled water to prevent limescale residue from building up on dark fabrics after drying. Treatment of stubborn stains: Brush dry stains lightly with a soft brush (such as a clothes brush). Depending on the type of stain, the use of solvents may be necessary. In such cases, it is essential to consult a professional. Under no circumstances should cover fabric surfaces be rubbed vigorously. Please be sure to consult a specialist before using any solvent-based cleaning product.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
PlasticsVitra plastics are robust and characterised by a high degree of form and colour fastness, which makes them resistant to a variety of chemicals and other media. Furthermore, special additives slow down the colour-fading processchair to direct sunlight for a longer period of time, its colour may change. For this reason, we recommend that you avoid exposing your chair to the sun for any longer than is necessary. Please use a soft, damp, non-abrasive cloth for cleaning plastic. Subsequent gentle drying is recommended. Stain removal: For stain removal, we recommend using a mild commercially available cleaner. Never use abrasive cleaning agents such as powders or pastes, or aggressive «all-purpose cleaners» like alcohol, as these may damage the surface.
