Vitra - Eames PACC RE Plastic Armchair swivel, on wheels

Vitra Eames Plastic Armchair RE PACC.

The Eames Plastic Chair PACC is a reinterpretation of the Eames fiberglass chairs from 1948 and now available with a recycled plastic seat. The Eames Plastic Armchair PACC Office Chair by Vitra was already designed in 1950 in its original version by Charles & Ray Eames.

The Eames Plastic Armchair PACC Office Chair is the reissue of the legendary "fiberglass chair", originally designed for the "Low Cost Furniture Design" competition by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The label Vitra now produces the PACC using more environmentally friendly materials, and this is your chance to purchase one of these popular design objects!

The frame of the Eames Plastic Armchair PACC Office Swivel Chair by Vitra is made of aluminum, the seat of polypropylene. You can choose from different colors for the color of the seat shell.

PACC stands for Pivot Armchair Cast base on Castors, and describes the base on wheels. Matching seat cushions for the Vitra office chair are available on request and at an additional cost, as well as a particularly comfortable version with full upholstery.

These plastic variants have been produced since the 1990s. In contrast to the traditional Fiberglass chairs, the Plastic Chairs are made of polypropylene colored through and through, which makes the shell of the Eames Plastic Chairs a bit more flexible and has a beautiful deep color.

About the designers,

Ray and Charles Eames were an American designer couple whose name is known to anyone with an interest in modern design. Charles Eames was born in 1907 in St. Louis, Missouri. He studied architecture at the University of Washington and, at the invitation of the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, continued his studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts, Michigan in 1940. There he met Eero Saarinen, with whom he entered a competition called " Organic Design in Home Decor" organized by MoMA in New York. Eames and Saarinen won the competition using a plywood molding technique originally developed by Alvar Aalto. In Cranbrook, Charles Eames also met his future wife Ray, and the couple married in 1941.
