Price History
Description
Epitomising the playful, functionality of mid-century American design, the DSW Chair by Charles and Ray Eames feels as fresh today as when it was first introduced over 60 years ago. A wonderfully crafted, and fully licensed edition by Vitra, this reproduction adheres strictly to the Eames original design, the only change being the replacement of fibreglass shell for a more environmentally friendly, not to mention hard-wearing, polypropylene seat.
Our Stylist Says
This Eames DSW chair in white with warm grey and ivory honey ash legs is a versatile piece that brings timeless style to a variety of interiors. I love how its clean, modern lines complement both contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired spaces, adding a touch of understated elegance. It works particularly well in minimalist dining rooms, pairing effortlessly with wooden tables or even mixing with more eclectic furnishings for a confident, layered look. Practical styling tips include using it as a standalone statement or grouping several for a functional yet stylish dining area. Adding soft textiles like cushions or throws can create a cosy, personalised feel, making this chair a practical and attractive choice for everyday use.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
