Renowned for their revolutionary designs Charles & Ray Eames also wrote design history with LAR: Designed in 1950 the LAR Plastic Armchair, and as with its siblings from the Eames Plastic Chairs family, consists of an organically shaped plastic seat shell combined with a filigree base. Out of production since 1968, the LAR, with its characteristic Cat's Cradle base is now, once again, being produced by Vitra - since 2024 with a seat shell of resource-saving recycled material.

| Colours | Seat shell Seat cushion / full upholstery, Hopsak  Base  |
| Material | Base: Steel wire with bracing, chrome-plated Full upholstery: Hopsak (100% polyamide) Seat shell: dyed-through RE plastic Please note: The RE plastic employed for the Eames Plastic Chair seat shells is composed of granules of recycled plastics from the German "Yellow Sack" packaging recycling system and approx. 10% fibreglass material to achieve the necessary rigidity. The familiar colours of the seat shells do not change as a result of this material change. However, with the lighter seat shell colours tiny pigments of differently coloured granules may be visible upon closer inspection. These pigments do not represent a defect, but are a feature of the new sustainable material. Below is a comparative example of the colour "ice grey" in high magnification - the new material is on the right.  |
