Over the years and in ongoing consultation with the Eames family, Vitra has introduced more sustainable materials for the seat shells of Eames plastic chairs. As of 2024, they are made from recycled plastic.
The high-quality recycled material stems from household recycling, particularly used packaging, obtained through the "Yellow Bag" (Gelber Sack) collection programme in Germany. Utilising this raw material instead of petroleum-based primary plastics generates fewer climate-damaging emissions, with a significant reduction in primary energy consumption.
Owing to the composition of the recycled material, the different colours are interspersed with tiny specks of pigment. Each seat shell is 100% recyclable at the end of its product life.
Home Living Warehouse Comment:
Brand New in original packaging - Some very small black dots on the chair as pictured.
