Overview
Eames Dowel Leg Side Chair by Herman Miller
designed by Charles and Ray Eames
At A Glance:
This iconic chair by one of the most renowned design duos of the last century is now available with a dowel leg base. A brilliant reintroduction - the wooden dowel legs give the molded plastic chair a softer feel, and yet the metal rods connecting the legs hint at the geometric form that this chair's base is famous for.

What's To Like:
Charles and Ray Eames believed that comfort was as important as looks. The molded plastic chairs have comfort built in. The shell seats have high, flexible backs, deep seat pockets, and waterfall front edges so you can sit comfortably even for extended periods. A landmark design from Charles and Ray Eames, these were the first industrially manufactured plastic chairs. Their clean, simple forms cradle the body. Today's chairs are the authentic original design with updated, eco-friendly materials and manufacturing and a large selection of base, shell, and color combinations.
What's Not to Like:
If we're being picky, we've found that taller people who are wearing clothing made from slick materials tend to feel like their sliding off the chair - an unlikely scenario for most people.
The Bottom Line:
More than accent pieces, Eames Dowel Leg Side Chairs are comfortable, durable performers in homes, offices, libraries, museums - just about everywhere. Available in a range of colors, the Eames plastic chair continues to brighten spaces of every variety to this day.
Details:
- 31.875" h x 18.75" w x 21.625" d
- Seat height: 16.25"
- Recyclable polypropylene shell
