Charles & Ray Eames DAR Eiffel Rope Edge Chair, 1st Generation, 1950

By Herman Miller, Charles and Ray Eames, Zenith

Located in Brooklyn, NY

Charles Eames (1907-1978) & Ray Eames (1912-1988) for Zenith Plastics / HermanMiller DAR Eiffel rope-edge chair Venice, California / Zeeland, Michigan, 1950 fiberglass, enameled steel early sticker label Measures: 24 7/8" W x 23 5/8" D x 31 3/8" H All original parts, including rare first gen. feet, which date the piece to the first batch of production (1950). Labelled. Gorgeous museum worthy piece. Quite possibly one of the most famous and iconic chairs ever, the Eames DAR would most commonly become known as the ‘eiffel chair’ due to its sculptured wire base resembling that of Europe’s most notorious landmark. The very first generation of the Eames DAR Eiffel Chair was recognizable not only for the ‘rope edge’ shell but also due to the protruding ‘1st gen’ feet as opposed to boot glides or later plastic feet. The abbreviated Eames DAR Chair stands for the Eames Dining (D) height, Arm (A) Chair, on Rod (R) Base released in the first year of arm chair production of the fiberglass series developed to the marketplace in 1950. The early success of the Eames arm chairs, released in 1950, was a co-ordinated effort between the Eames . Office (Designers), Zenith Plastics (Manufacturers) and Herman Miller (Distributors). The chair series was always designed to have interchangeable bases and the DAR was one of the ‘original 5’ alongside the DAX X-base, LAR cats cradle...

Questions About Zenith Armchairs

What is Rolex Zenith?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

The luxurious Rolex Zenith features sapphire crystals and crown guards for protection against scratches. Shop a collection of authentic Rolex Zenith watches from top sellers on 1stDibs.
Who wears Zenith watches?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
A number of celebrities wear Zenith watches. They include Chinese actor and singer Xiao Zhan, NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, street artist Felipe Pantone, DJ Carl Cox, actor Will Ferrell, professional tennis player Patrick Mouratoglou and actor Nicolas Cage. Japanese gymnast and television personality Airi Hatakeyama also frequently wears timepieces from the luxury watchmaker's women's collection. Explore a range of Zenith watches on 1stDibs.
What happened to Zenith watches?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
What happened to Zenith watches was that the ownership of the watchmaker changed hands. During the quartz crisis of the 1970s and ’80s, Zenith suffered financial setbacks and struggled to recover during the ’90s. However, Louis Vuitton-Moët Hennesy (LVMH), the luxury goods company that also owns TAG Heuer and Hublot, purchased Zenith in 1999 and revived the brand. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Zenith watches.
How do you identify a Zenith Daytona?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
The simplest way to identify a Zenith Daytona is the placement of the sub-dials in the watch face. In Daytona watches that feature a Zenith movement inside, a 30-minute dial is set at the 3 o’clock mark, while a 12-hour dial is set at the 6 o’clock mark and a running seconds dial is set at the 9 o’clock mark. On 1stDibs, find a range of Zenith Daytona watches.
Is a Zenith watch worth buying?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
Many watch lovers believe that Zenith watches are worth buying. Since 1865, the Swiss manufacturer has become known for producing reliable timepieces, and the company has won more than 2,300 watch design prizes throughout its more than 150-year history. Some of the maker's timepieces that are popular among collectors include the Pilot Cronometro Tipo CP-2, the Elite Captain Central Second Silver Sunray Dial, the Chronomaster El Primero and the Zenith Defy Zero G. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in Zenith watches is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find Zenith watches and other watches on 1stDibs.
Are Zenith watches better than Omega?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
No, Zenith isn't better than Omega. These two luxury watch brands are both universally heralded. Over the last few years, Zenith has seen a resurgence in popularity, and its Zenith El Primero movement is of fine enough quality to now be used in some Rolex chronograph watches. It’s a celebrated part of Omega lore that the brand’s Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch to make a lunar landing. The house’s origins date much further back to 1848, when Swiss watchmaker Louis Brandt first set up shop. When shopping for a watch, you should think about what you’re looking for in this type of accessory. You may wish to consider the power reserve, the materials, its accuracy, the craftsmanship, where it was manufactured and more. Find a collection of watches for sale on 1stDibs.
Are Zenith watches Swiss-made?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
Yes, Zenith watches are Swiss-made. The luxury watchmaker has its atelier in Le Locle, which is in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Founded in 1865, the workshop has the distinction of being the first modern watch manufacturer. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Zenith watches.
