DSW Chair

reproduction yellow DSW chair from Metro Furniture with antique furniture

We’ve just received this reproduction Charles Eames-designed DSW chair for review from Metro Furniture.

It works well as a dining chair, office or desk chair. It would also sit nicely in the corner of a bedroom or lounge too – providing a lovely flash of colour and offering an occasional seat for larger gatherings.

The DSW is available in eleven different colours, our favourite being this gorgeous, sunny yellow.

The chair arrives in 2 pieces and it’s an easy job attaching the moulded plastic seat to the metal & blonde wood base with the Allen key supplied. It’s a very affordable option retailing at just £50.00.

We think it looks great with a range of interior styles and we’ve combined it with mid century modern & antique furniture pieces whilst assessing it in our house. It sits very well with our 1960s fat lava floor vases, provided a good functional seat when combined with our rustic kitchen table or rustic pine workbench… and we love the contrast of the modern yellow moulded plastic with the rich, dark 18th century fruit-wood table that we tried.

Original pieces are fabulous, but they don’t always come within budget – especially if buying a set of 4 or 6 chairs. Metro Furniture offers a good alternative in the form of these practical and stylish reproductions.
