Designed for the MoMA’s “Low-Cost Furniture Design” competition in New York in 1950, the DSW is the result of the Eames couple’s research into molding fiberglass, a material previously reserved for the aeronautics industry. Its one-piece shell, adapted to human anatomy, revolutionized the furniture industry.
An icon of the 20th century, the DSW (Dining Side chair Wood) is a piece of history.
It was mass-produced starting in 1950 in the United States by the manufacturer Herman Miller. This marked the beginning of “mass design.”
The first Eames chairs from 1950, distributed by the American company Herman Miller, were produced by Zenith Plastics in Gardena, California.
After 1953, the manufacturer changed factories several times, but production remained in America. In Europe, the rights to the DSW were acquired by Vitra.

Lightweight, versatile, easy to maintain, available in multiple colors, and mass-produced, the Eames DSW chair has won over interiors around the world and is now exhibited in prestigious modern art museum collections.
Versatile, the DSW chair is found in both offices and private homes.
The Eames chairs were later adapted into numerous models: the RAR rocking chair, the DAW armchair with a wooden base, the DAR armchair with Eiffel bases, etc.
