Charles and Ray Eames designed the Fibreglass Armchair DAR in 1950 following a design competition entry two years earlier at the New York MOMA. The chair is made of a steel wire base, known as the Eiffel Tower version and a dyed-through glass-fibre reinforced polyester base which in some colours is slightly transparent as in the earlier models.
