Eames Molded Plastic Stool

Charles and Ray Eames' career-long exploration of the chair as a single-shell form yielded numerous expressions, beginning in 1950 with the Molded Fiberglass Chairs. Most recently, the Molded Plastic Shell evolved to include 100 percent recycled plastic. Atop a 4-leg bar- or counter-height base, the durable shell chairs make spaces more inviting and stylish. Beyond the growing selection of plastic shell colors, Eames Molded Plastic Stools are also available fully upholstered or with a seat pad for enhanced comfort.

"The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests," Charles Eames said. With the molded plastic, fiberglass, and wood shell chairs—as well as the wire chair—the Eameses have created a universal response to what everyone wants from a chair: a simple, gracious form that fits any body and every place.
