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
The Vitra Eames DSW side chair is a classic choice that combines mid-century modern style with practical comfort. I love how it works in a variety of interiors, from contemporary to Scandi-inspired spaces, thanks to its clean lines and versatile colour options like pebble ash. It's great for adding a touch of timeless design to any dining area or home office. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with a wooden or glass table for a cohesive look, and add soft textiles such as cushions or throws to make it more inviting. Its durable plastic seat and sturdy wooden legs make it both stylish and practical, perfect for everyday use.

About Heal's
Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
