Vitra DSW chair – Ref. 440305000302

Perfect combination of organic design, ergonomic comfort and the warmth of wood

The Vitra DSW chair (Ref. 440305000302) is among Charles & Ray Eames’ most iconic creations, part of the famous Eames Plastic Chairs collection.

Released by Vitra, it harmoniously combines technical innovation, timeless elegance and craftsmanship, to offer seating that is as comfortable as it is aesthetically pleasing.

Its name – Dining Height Side Chair Wood Base – illustrates the meeting between a modern plastic shell and a solid wood base, the signature of a design that is both rational and warm.

Organic design and natural comfort

The DSW’s one-piece seat shell, made from solution-dyed polypropylene, embodies the Eames’ innovative vision: a fluid, welcoming and ergonomic shape, designed to follow the curves of the human body.

Soft, resistant and slightly flexible, it guarantees optimal seating comfort even during prolonged use.

Its matt, soft-touch finish reinforces the feeling of quality and makes daily maintenance easier.

This formal simplicity, typical of Eames design, lends the chair an understated, universal elegance.

Wood warmth and structural stability

The solid wood base sets the Vitra DSW apart from other models in the collection.

Available in maple or ash, it provides natural warmth and a subtle contrast to the polypropylene shell.

Black lacquered steel cross rods connect the four legs, ensuring exemplary stability and structural rigidity without compromising visual lightness.

This dialogue between wood and metal embodies the perfect marriage between traditional craftsmanship and industrial design, an emblematic signature of the Eames couple and the Vitra brand.

Polyvalence and ergonomics

With balanced dimensions – approximately 83 cm in total height, 46.5 cm in width, 55 cm in depth and 43 cm in seat height – the DSW adapts perfectly to all contexts:

• Dining room or contemporary kitchen,

• Work office or meeting room,

• Group spaces or modern reception areas.

Lightweight, stable and easy to move, it meets the requirements of modular spaces while offering ergonomic and versatile seating, true to the spirit of “Design for Living”.

Timeless aesthetics and customisation

Available in a wide range of colours, the shell of the Vitra DSW fits in with all interior styles:

from pure white and basalt grey for minimalist ambiences, to bright hues such as poppy red or olive green for a more expressive touch.

For extra comfort, Vitra offers several options:

• Soft Seat cushion, removable and comfortable;

• Full upholstered version, available in a wide selection of premium fabrics and leathers.

This modularity makes the DSW an aesthetically pleasing, practical and customisable chair, capable of adapting to any interior.

This approach embodies Vitra’s philosophy: to create furniture designed to last, both responsible and timeless.
