Description
Why choose the Wire Chair DKL - Base, legs La Fonda? A modernist design icon by Charles & Ray Eames A sophisticated, graphic La Fonda Legs designed for urban elegance A light, openwork structure, emblematic of the 50s An original Vitra piece, with enduring value and a 10-year guarantee A sculptural chair for everyday comfortSigned Charles & Ray Eames and edited by Vitra, the Wire Flesh DKL embodies the quintessence of auteur furniture. Between formal rigor and technical daring, it symbolizes the ingenuity of the 1950s, a pivotal period when industrial innovation was combined with refinement of line. Historic design born of experimentationAs early as 1951, the Eames were exploring the potential of steel wire, seeking to combine the visual transparency of a grid structure with the sensuality of an organic form. Inspired by their famous Plastic Side Flesh, the Wire Flesh transposes the codes of modern comfort into a lightweight, durable and graphically striking material. Its La Fonda Legs, designed in 1961 for a New York restaurant by Alexander Girard, completes the balance between stability and elegance. With its four branches and central column, it stands out as one of the Eames couple's most refined legs. A piece designed to lastMade from epoxy-finish welded steel wire, the Chair combines structural strength with visual finesse. It adapts to intensive use as well as to exceptional interiors, thanks to Vitra-certified craftsmanship of the highest quality. The seat naturally follows the curves of the body, ensuring support and comfort even without padding. A manifesto for cutting-edge DecorationWith its airy silhouette and singular Legs, the Wire Flesh DKL blends into minimalist, arty or brutalist decors. It blends perfectly with raw or tactile materials, from Light wood to terrazzo, marble or Matt ceramic. A strong, sculptural piece, designed to last... and cross generations.
