Fiberglass DAX Shell Armchairs in Greige colorway, designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller, produced in the early 1950s. These dining armchairs (DAX) feature the original X-bases, an early iteration that predates the later H and Eiffel configurations. The fiberglass shells are finished in a warm greige tone, with a distinct thread texture that varies in saturation and density across the molded surface. A defining example of the Eames’ material innovation, balancing strength, comfort, and sculptural form.
