Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
A new iteration on an archetype
Eames Task Chairs
It beckons with an aesthetic and biomorphic shape that has become archetypal: the Eames molded shell, prized since 1950 for inventing a new paradigm for simple and comfortable, sophisticated and playful seating. In this iteration as the Eames Task Chair, the iconic chair steps up its service as a desk chair that provides effortless functionality and flexibility.
The Eames Task Chair marries the beloved molded one-piece shell design—in side chair or armchair versions—with a five-star base for just-right stability and a height-adjustable, swivel-mounted seat and casters for mobility. The molded fiberglass of the original Eames Shell Chair—with all its expressive surface variation—is once again available thanks to an updated environmentally friendly process. Most recently, the molded plastic shell evolved to include 100 percent post-industrial recycled plastic. The shell offers a customizable aesthetic; colors range from fresh to vintage pigments, available with or without full upholstery or a seat pad. The Eames Task Chair also offers a choice of bent wire or molded wood side chair shells. Whatever options you choose, Eames Task Chairs are look-good, feel-good form following function at their best.
