This is Vitra's re-edition of the now legendary EamesDAR Armchair with its 'Eiffel Tower' leg base. The seat design was first presented as part of a New York Museum of Modern Art competition entitled "Low Cost Furniture Design". Their organically shaped plastic seat shells were combined with several base options and manufactured in their millions. 

The DAR stands for 'Dining Height Armchair' with a wire base. Thanks to advances in technology and materials the new edition is now made in polypropylene (the original DAR chair was made in fibreglass) which offers greater seat comfort and chrome plated tubular steel leg base.
