Overview
The Eames Wire Chair is a unique iteration in the continuous evolution of the Eames Shell Chair. In the 1950s, the Eames Office started experimenting in bent and welded wire and developed a number of pieces, including the wire version of the single-shell form. With the expansion of base choices—including 4-leg and wood dowel in addition to wire—and the option of adding a seat pad or an upholstered seat/back bikini pad, this Eames classic is more versatile than ever.
