Vitra DSX Chair – Ref. 440310000301

Sleek design, functional comfort and timeless elegance by Charles & Ray Eames

The Vitra DSX chair (Ref. 440310000301) is an iconic creation by Charles & Ray Eames, from the legendary Eames Plastic Chair Collection. DSX stands for Dining Height Side Chair X-Base and combines functional design, visual lightness and lasting comfort. Reissued by Vitra, it continues the Eames’ vision of creating objects that are beautiful, accessible and built to last.

Minimalist design and ergonomic comfort

The Vitra DSX captivates with its one-piece seat shell in solution-dyed polypropylene, with fluid, organic lines.

This modern material, which is flexible and resistant, naturally follows the body’s silhouette to offer optimal seating comfort, while guaranteeing great robustness.

Without armrests, the DSX retains a sleek, uncluttered silhouette, ideal for small spaces or harmonious compositions around a dining table, office or meeting room.

The smooth, pleasant-to-the-touch surface reflects the rigour and precision of Vitra finishes, while the continuous shape of the shell perfectly expresses the quest for ergonomics and simplicity dear to the Eames.

X-Base metal structure: stability and finesse

The chrome-plated tubular steel base, characteristic of the DSX, is distinguished by its “X-Base “cross structure, which ensures exemplary stability while visually lightening the chair.

This metal base, both slender and solid, expresses the perfect alliance between industrial aesthetics and precision craftsmanship.

The contrast between the soft, organic shell and the rigid, geometric base creates a balanced visual tension, a signature of Eames design.

Every detail of the structure – from the bending of the rods to the polishing of the welds – illustrates the impeccable quality of Vitra’s Swiss craftsmanship.

Polyvalence and adaptability in all environments

Thanks to its compact size and airy profile, the DSX chair fits harmoniously into a wide variety of spaces:

• Residential: dining room, kitchen, home office;

• Professional: meeting rooms, collaborative spaces, waiting areas;

• Collective: cafeterias, restaurants, designer public spaces.

Its visual lightness and timeless design make it easy to combine with other materials – wood, glass, metal – and different furnishing styles, from Scandinavian to contemporary.

Responsible materials and exemplary sustainability

The Vitra DSX is produced in Europe according to the Swiss brand’s strict ecological standards.

The recyclable polypropylene shell and durable steel base ensure a long life and easy maintenance.

The dismountable design makes it easy to replace or recycle components, in line with Vitra’s sustainability principles.

Available in a wide range of colours, the DSX adapts to any ambience, from neutral, sober tones to brighter, contemporary hues.

For added comfort, it can be fitted with a Soft Seat cushion or fixed upholstery, offered by Vitra in various textiles and leathers.
