Poly & Bark Vortex Mid-Century Modern Armchair with Walnut Legs in Aqua Blue Fabric - Perfect for Living Room, Office, or Reading Nook

The brightly colored DAW Chair Plastic (Dining height Armchair Wooden base), first designed in 1948, is one of the most recognizable pieces from E.'s furniture collection. It boasts a beautifully flowing shell seat, which is molded to fit the lines of the body. The rolled edge prevents the seat from pressing into the back of the legs. This triumph of design was created for the "Low Cost Furniture Design" Competition at the New York Museum of Modern Art and went on to become the first mass-produced plastic chair. The innovative methods of molding and bending, developed by the popular designer, established the DAW Chair series as a true furniture icon of the 20th century.
