All Eames Molded Fiberglass Shells are on Hold until Further Notice

Design Charles & Ray Eames, 1948
Made by Herman Miller

Charles and Ray Eames realized their dream to create a single-shell form over 80 years ago by making their molded chairs of fiberglass. When the environmental risks of that material became known, the Eames Molded Shell Chair (1950) was changed to polypropylene, which is 100% recyclable and has a pleasant matte texture. In 2013, Herman Miller safely brought back the fiberglass shell thanks to a new proprietary production process. Todays fiberglass chair is made of 99% recyclable materials and covered by Herman Millers take-back program for environmentally sound recycling. Plus, its true to the original with its beloved variegated surface. Also making its debut in 2013 was the stunning Eames Molded Wood Chair, a longtime dream of the Eameses finally made possible by todays revolutionary 3-D molding technology. The result is an elegant yet strong and durable beautiful wood shell. The collection was expanded again in 2015 to include a counter stool and barstool. Each provides just the right amount of give, with a deep seat pocket and waterfall seat edge to reduce pressure on the backs of thighs. The Molded Shell Chair is a celebration of the Eameses fascination with emerging materials. The chair that Charles and Ray were designing, says grandson Eames Demetrios, is the chair thats made tomorrow. This is an authentic Eames Chair by Herman Miller.
