Charles and Ray Eames adapted molding techniques developed during World War II to produce their classic shell chair's simple, gracious form. In 2001, Herman Miller reintroduced the original Eames Molded Plastic Chair (1950) in a durable, 100 percent recyclable polypropylene with a subtle matte texture. This molded plastic chair has an innovative base that allows it to be ganged together to form a row or stacked up to 14 high.
