Eames DAW Style Chair Set of 2 – White Modern Replica Armchairs

This eames daw style chair set gives you two perfectly matched white dining armchairs, ready to brighten any kitchen or dining room across Europe. Each chair features a smooth, injection-moulded polypropylene shell in crisp white, paired with solid beech wood dowel legs and a lacquered steel cross brace. This is a set of two chairs — not sold individually on this listing. The shell is white polypropylene only; no upholstered version is available here. These chairs are designed for indoor use only and do not include seat cushions or an ottoman.

If you want the clean, timeless look of a Scandinavian dining room without the €1,200-plus Vitra price tag, this white replica set is built for you. Both chairs arrive together in one box, typically within 2–5 working days anywhere in the EU.

Why White? The Most Versatile Colour in the DAW Range

White works with every table, every wall, and every dining style. That is not marketing — it is just how white furniture behaves in a room. The classic pairing of a white polypropylene shell against natural beech wood legs has become the signature look of Scandinavian and mid-century modern interiors across Europe. It looks considered without trying too hard.

Whether you have an oak dining table in a Dutch apartment, a marble surface in a Parisian kitchen, or a simple pine table in a British cottage, these white armchairs slot in without a second thought. No other colour in the DAW range offers that same level of flexibility. White also makes smaller dining spaces feel more open and less cluttered — a genuine practical advantage for the compact European homes our customers live in.

Will It Stay White? Our Anti-Yellowing Commitment

Yes, it will stay white. This is the most common question we receive about this chair, and the answer is clear and direct: the shell is made from UV-stabilised polypropylene, the same base material used by Vitra for their current production range. The UV stabiliser is blended into the material during manufacturing, not applied as a surface coating, so it does not wear off over time.

Under normal indoor conditions — including rooms with natural daylight from windows — the shell holds its colour without yellowing, chalking, or fading. Every EU order also comes with our 2-year anti-yellowing guarantee. If the shell yellows within two years of purchase due to a material fault, we replace the chair.

One practical note: prolonged direct sunlight on south-facing windows for many hours every day is not recommended for any polypropylene furniture, regardless of brand. This applies to the Vitra original just as much as to our reproduction. For typical European home use, however, you will have no issues at all.

What Is the Eames DAW Chair? The Design Story in Brief

Charles and Ray Eames developed the DAW concept in 1948 as part of their mission to create beautiful furniture that ordinary people could actually afford and use. The name breaks down simply: D for Dining height, A for Armchair, W for Wood base. Every letter tells you something useful about what you are buying.

The original shells were moulded in fibreglass, but both Vitra and modern reproductions now use polypropylene — a stronger, lighter, and more sustainable material. In 1950, the Museum of Modern Art in New York added the design to its permanent collection, cementing its place in design history. Over 75 years later, the DAW is still the most recognised dining armchair in the world.

Our white version stays true to the original proportions. The integrated armrests sit at exactly the right height for relaxed meals, and the beech wood dowel base brings natural warmth to the crisp white shell — a balance the Eames duo themselves would have appreciated. If you love the broader Eames legacy, our Eames lounge chair replica and Eames LCW chair replica complete the picture beautifully.

What Is Included in Your White Set of 2

Every order contains a complete, matched pair. Here is exactly what arrives:

• 2 × white polypropylene DAW-style replica armchairs — colour-matched from the same production batch
• All assembly hardware included — 4 screws per chair and an allen key
• Pre-fitted felt floor protectors on all four legs — protects hardwood, tile, and laminate floors
• Step-by-step photo assembly guide printed inside the box
• Both chairs ship together in one compact, well-padded box

Both shells come from the same colour batch, so the white is a guaranteed match. This matters more for white than any other colour — a slight batch variation is visible between two white chairs, which is why we take care to ensure consistency for every set we ship.

Materials Built to Last — Shell, Legs, and Finish

• Shell: Injection-moulded polypropylene — UV-stabilised, REACH-certified, and safe for home use across the EU. The non-porous surface repels dust and spills and wipes clean with a damp cloth.
• BS 5852 fire safety compliant – essential for European and UK regulations
• Legs: Solid beech wood, sustainably sourced. The natural beech finish with a clear lacquer brings warmth to the white shell and pairs with oak, walnut, marble, and concrete table tops.
• Cross brace: Lacquered steel frame connecting all four legs — adds structural rigidity and the signature Eames visual detail underneath the seat.
• Colour: Crisp white with a smooth, low-sheen finish. Not glossy — the surface sits between matte and satin, which means it does not catch light awkwardly in photographed interiors.
• Floor protection: Felt glides pre-fitted to all four leg tips before dispatch.

Dimensions and Specifications

The 44 cm seat height suits any dining table between 72 cm and 78 cm — which covers the vast majority of standard European kitchen and dining room tables.

How to Style Your White DAW Chairs — Room Pairing Guide

White polypropylene against natural beech is one of the most photographed dining combinations in European interiors right now. Here are the pairings that work best:

• Oak table and white chairs: The definitive Scandinavian dining look. Warm wood tones and a clean white shell create exactly the light, airy feel that makes Nordic interiors so appealing. This is the combination you see most in Danish and Swedish home magazines.
• Marble or white table and white chairs: A seamless, architectural look for modern kitchens. The chairs blend into the space and let the table surface do the talking.
• Walnut table and white chairs: Deep wood grain against crisp white creates a smart, restaurant-quality contrast without being as stark as black-on-white.
• Mix one colour into the set: The DAW range is designed to be mixed. Swap one white for a sage green or light blue shell for a relaxed, contemporary feel. All DAW colourways share identical dimensions, so mixing is seamless.
• Lighting pairing: Warm brass or exposed filament pendants above the table complement the natural beech base and stop the white from feeling clinical.

Assembly and Delivery — Straightforward from Box to Table

• Assembly: Just 5 minutes per chair — allen key and all fixings included. No power tools needed. The chairs can also be fully disassembled for flat-pack storage or moving home.
• How it works: Unpack the shell and beech base separately, align the four screw holes, hand-tighten the bolts with the included allen key, then check the pre-fitted felt pads are in place. That is it.
• Packaging: Both chairs ship together in one compact, well-padded box — manageable for one person to carry indoors.
• Damaged in transit? Contact us within 48 hours with photos and we ship a replacement chair at no cost. You do not need to return the full set.
• Fast delivery across the EU and UK — typically 2–5 working days.
• Free shipping on all orders over €95.
• Tracking link sent within 24 hours of dispatch.

Warranty, Returns, and Your Peace of Mind

• 2-year warranty covering materials and build quality against manufacturing defects.
• 2-year anti-yellowing guarantee — UV-stabilised shell on all EU orders.
• 14-day EU statutory right of withdrawal — we cover return shipping for any defective items.
• One chair damaged? We replace just that chair — no need to send back the whole set.
• Refund processed within 14 days of return receipt.
• Secure payment — we accept Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, SEPA, iDEAL, Sofort, and Bancontact. We never store your card details.

Care and Cleaning Guide — Keeping White Chairs White

White chairs need a little more attention than darker colourways, but they are genuinely easy to keep clean when you know how.

• Daily care: Wipe the shell with a damp cloth — the non-porous polypropylene surface repels dust and most spills before they set
• Food and drink marks: A small amount of mild soap on a damp cloth removes almost all dining stains, including coffee, red wine, and sauces
• Stubborn stains: Diluted white vinegar on a soft cloth is safe on the polypropylene surface and will not affect the finish or colour
• Denim transfer: Light blue denim can leave a faint mark on white chairs over time — wipe immediately after contact with mild soap and warm water
• Never use: Bleach, abrasive cleaning pads, or scouring powders — these dull the surface and can cause micro-scratches that trap dirt
• Leg care: Wipe the beech wood legs with a dry cloth — avoid standing water on the wood joints, which can loosen connections over time
• Floor protection: Keep the pre-fitted felt pads in place under all four legs — replacing them if worn is the single most effective way to prevent floor scratches
• Tighten leg bolts occasionally — particularly in the first month after assembly as the connection settles

Why This White Eames DAW Style Set Stands Apart From Budget Copies

Most budget white replica chairs use standard ABS plastic without UV stabilisation. Within 12 to 18 months of indoor use, those shells start to yellow at the edges and along the armrests — the areas that catch the most light. Ours does not do that, because the UV stabiliser is part of the material, not a coating.

The second issue with budget copies is leg quality. Thin hollow wood or engineered wood legs feel unstable immediately. Our legs are solid beech — the same wood species used by Vitra — with a 120 kg tested weight capacity per chair. That matters when you are buying two chairs for daily dining use.

We also guarantee that both shells in your set come from the same colour batch. White is the colourway where batch variation is most visible, and most budget sellers do not control for this. We do.

For anyone building a full mid-century modern dining space, our Tulip chair replica pairs beautifully with these white armchairs around a round table. Or explore our Eames style office chair replicas if you also want coordinated seating in your home study.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do white Eames replica chairs turn yellow over time?

No — not with our chairs. The shell uses UV-stabilised polypropylene with the stabiliser blended into the material during production. It does not wear off. Every EU order also carries our 2-year anti-yellowing guarantee. Prolonged direct sunlight for many hours a day is not recommended for any polypropylene furniture, but under typical European indoor conditions, the shell stays white.

Is this an original Eames chair?

No. This is a premium Eames-style reproduction inspired by the original 1948 design by Charles and Ray Eames. It is not made by Vitra or Herman Miller. We are fully transparent that this is a designer-inspired replica, which is how we can offer the same classic proportions at a fraction of the original price.

How do you clean a white Eames plastic chair?

A damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap removes almost all common dining stains. For stubborn marks, diluted white vinegar on a soft cloth works well without affecting the finish. Avoid bleach and abrasive pads — they dull the surface. Full details are in the care guide above.

Do Eames armchairs fit under a standard dining table?

Yes. The seat height is 44 cm, and the overall chair height is 83 cm. The armrests sit at 70 cm, which fits comfortably under dining tables with an apron height of 70 cm or above. These chairs work with any table between 72 cm and 78 cm tall — the standard range for European dining tables.

Are the wooden legs real beech wood?

Yes. The legs are solid beech wood — not hollow, not MDF, and not a wood-effect finish. Solid beech is the same leg material used by Vitra on their current DAW production range.

Does the set include two chairs or just one?

This listing is a set of two chairs. Both chairs come from the same colour batch to guarantee a matched white finish. Assembly hardware for both chairs is included in the same box.

Can I mix white chairs with other colours in the DAW range?

Yes. All DAW colourways share identical dimensions, so mixing white with another shell colour looks intentional and works perfectly around the same table. Many customers pair two white with one or two in a contrasting colour for a relaxed, contemporary look.

Is an Eames reproduction considered a knockoff?

In the European Union, selling and buying reproduction furniture inspired by classic designs is entirely legal, provided the seller does not misrepresent the product as a genuine Vitra or Herman Miller original. We are clear that this is an Eames-style reproduction — a designer-inspired piece, not a counterfeit.
