leather cushion for the Charles Eames models DAW, DAR, DAX, DAL and RAR chairs

This leather cushion is designed for the iconic molded shell chairs by Charles Eames, compatible with models DAW, DAR, DAX, DAL, and RAR. Developed to enhance seating comfort while preserving the chairs’ original proportions, the cushion follows the seat geometry precisely, ensuring a secure and unobtrusive fit.

The leather surface introduces a refined tactile quality that complements the shell’s sculptural form without altering its visual balance. The cushion integrates naturally with the chair, providing additional comfort for everyday use while maintaining the clarity and lightness that define the Eames design language. Over time, the leather develops a subtle patina, adding depth while remaining understated.

Suitable for contemporary European and North American interiors, this cushion is ideal for dining areas, workspaces, and professional environments where design integrity and comfort are equally important.

Design Intent & Fit

The Eames molded shell chairs are defined by simplicity, ergonomics, and visual clarity. This cushion respects those qualities through accurate sizing and controlled thickness, ensuring the chair’s silhouette and balance remain unchanged once placed.

Material & Surface

The leather is selected for durability, consistency, and natural grain character. Its smooth surface supports regular use and ages evenly, aligning with the principles of long-lasting modern furniture design.
