Eames Vitra DAL Armchair | La Fonda Base

Original DAL dining chair with La Fonda base by Charles & Ray Eames in white.

The base for the DAL chair was developed in 1961 by Charles and Ray Eames for the legendary New York restaurant La Fonda del Sol, whose interior was designed by their friend Alexander Girard. With its central pedestal made up of four parallel axes that split at the bottom to form a four star base, it is one of the most elegant and unconventional pedestals ever designed by the Eames's.
These plastic variants have been produced since the 1990s. In contrast to the traditional Fiberglass chairs, the Plastic Chairs are made of polypropylene coloured through and through, which makes the shell of the Eames Plastic Chairs a bit more flexible.
