| Herman Miller® Eames® DKR wire-base side chair | |

|
This wire model DKR rests on a bent-wire, welded base called the "Eiffel Tower" base. An immediate hit when they were introduced in the early 1950s, the chairs were design breakthroughs in the use of materials. Today's versions are true to the original design and detailing.
The wire chair--After carefully studying the contours of the body, the Eameses molded the seat of their wire chair using cross-woven wires and positioned it on the bent-wire base. To achieve cost restraints, strength requirements, and an organic shape, they made the rim of the chair a lighter-gauge wire and doubled it for strength and stability. This advance won the Eameses the first American mechanical patent for design. The chair was introduced in 1951 for the consumer who wanted quality design at a reasonable price. Once in production, it began to be used in offices, hotels, and restaurants. It was marketed by Herman Miller until 1967--and reintroduced in 2001.
These products are manufactured by Vitra and distributed by Herman Miller.
