Unique piece
Graphic work by the artist Petites Luxures aka Simon Frankart in collaboration with The Woods.
Unique hand painted artwork on a vintage Herman Miller edition fiberglass DSX chair from the 70s, in excellent vintage condition.
Designed for the “Low-Cost Furniture Design” competition at MoMA in New York in 1950, the DSW chair (here DSR with the Eiffel metal base) is the result of the Eames couple's research into the molding of fiberglass until then reserved to aeronautics. Its one-piece shell adapted to human anatomy is revolutionizing the furniture industry.
Icon of the 20th century, the DSW (Dining Side chair Wood) is part of history.
It was produced on a large scale from 1950 in the United States by the manufacturer Hermann Miller. This is the beginning of “mass design”.
The first Eames chairs from 1950, distributed by the American Herman Miller, will come from Zenith Plastics in Gardena, California.
After 1953, the publisher changed factories several times, but manufacturing remained American. In Europe, the rights to DSW will be purchased by Vitra.
Lightweight, versatile, easy to maintain, available in multiple colors and mass-produced, the Eames DSW chair has conquered interiors around the world and is now on display in the prestigious collections of modern art museums.
Versatile, the DSW chair can be found in offices as well as in private interiors.
Eames chairs were then available in numerous models: RAR rocking chair, DAW wooden-legged armchair, DAR eiffel-legged armchairs, etc.

Simon Frankart began by studying applied arts in Paris. For 17 years, he worked as a graphic designer then artistic director in digital communication and advertising.
Having never stopped drawing, he launched the Petites Luxures project somewhat by chance in 2014. With a desire to keep a simple, almost minimal line, and a sincerity that is always more important than the technicality of his sometimes almost naive drawings, he attempts to bring a touch of freshness, humor and lightness to eroticism. Thus, he tries to take it out of his usual distribution channels.
His work gradually gained popularity thanks to Instagram, where he now has 1.3 million followers with his black, suggestive, erotic and humorous line drawings. Since the start of its project, Petites Luxures has collaborated with numerous brands to create skateboards, lingerie, ceramics and sneakers.
