Fiberglass Chairs are rare examples of a satisfying synthesis of formal and technical innovation. For the first time in the history of design, Charles and Ray Eames took advantage of the limitless machinability of plastic to develop a comfortable seating shell that conforms to the shape of the human body.<\/p>\n
The idea of making three-dimensional molded shells dates back to a design in 1940. The first attempt to make the shell out of plywood failed due to the extreme conditions required to mold the material. It was only possible to achieve satisfactory results with the development of fiberglass technology. The first Fiberglass Chair went into production in 1950.<\/p>\n
After years of experimentation, Charles and Ray Eames succeeded in realizing their goal: An industrially produced, inexpensive, sturdy and comfortable chair. Fiberglass Chairs are available in several versions: A-shaped shell (seat) or S-shaped shell (side chair) and on different bases, one of which is the famous ‘Eiffel Tower’ base.<\/p>\n
