Charles and Ray Eames firmly believed that "design is a method of action," consistently updating their work in response to new materials becoming available. Their Molded Plastic chairs originated in metal and were initially showcased as a prototype at MoMA's 1948 International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design. A material switch from fiberglass to recyclable polypropylene followed in 1950, marking another major advancement in their design process. Although Charles expressed disappointment with the fiberglass used earlier, it was after his passing that the desired matte finish became achievable due to significant progress in materials technology. Eames Demetrios, grandson of Charles and Ray, underscores the ever-evolving nature of their designs: "The chair they envisioned," he notes, "is the one that will be crafted tomorrow." A key feature contributing to user comfort is the deep seat pocket and waterfall edge on the seat, which reduce pressure on the thighs by allowing a natural sitting position. Authentic production by Herman Miller, Inc. proudly carries the Eames name as an official trademark, promising superior quality while being proudly manufactured in the U.S.A. DSR stands for dining height, side chair, rod base. This iconic piece is affectionately known as the Eiffel chair due to the distinct shape of its base, inspired by its famous Parisian counterpart.
