Reproduced as often as the Eames DSW has been, it's easy to stop noticing the details — but the base is the one that actually matters for events. Wooden legs instead of the Eiffel's wire frame keep this black version warmer and a little less industrial than it could have been.

It suits conferences, exhibitions and dining areas where you want a recognisable, design-led chair without it looking like it was pulled from a stack of identical folding seats. Because the shell and legs are separate from the colour of the seat, it's easy to order in volume for a consistent look across a large space.

It's designed to pair with our matching black Eames DSW Round Table, and you'll find the full lineup, including the wire-leg Eiffel version, in our Eames chair collection.
