The first models were exhibited in the 1950 MOMA exhibition 'Low Cost Furniture Design'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tooling and engineering costs were extremely high, and chairs were hand-made. The early examples were reinforced with an embedded rope edge to the seat. Through conviction and further development of the production processes allowed for a highly versatile, low cost armchair shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new design offered high comfort levels and durability without the need for upholstery. The use of rubber mounts beneath the chairs provided a discrete fixing and flexibility for a host of base options to be combined with the fibreglass seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAW was more expensive base option and available with a fixed or swivel version. The design echoes the DAR with an ‘Eiffel’ type configuration, but the marriage of timber dowels within the steel structure softens the overall aesthetic and creates a truly unique marriage of materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chair offered is an early example with the rope edge, large shock mounts and translucent fibreglass was originally purchased in USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e 60w x 60d x 45\/78cmh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zenith Plastics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20769673412719,"sku":"991097","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0032\/4966\/8207\/products\/DAW_vintage_01_0.jpg?v=1571711859","url":"https:\/\/www.twentytwentyone.mom\/products\/eames-paw-swivel-chair-1950","provider":"twentytwentyone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
