This white Eiffel dining chairs set of 4 seats a whole table in one order. Each chair pairs a one-piece white ABS shell with solid beech dowel legs and a wire cross-brace, as our replica of the Eames DSW side chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames. We sell it plainly as a replica, and we build it for meals eaten every day.
White is the neutral in our DSW range. Four chairs without a strong colour of their own work around a small first table, then move with you to a bigger one, and they suit most rooms you take them to.
Main Features of the White Set of Four
- Four matching chairs in one order: every seat has the same shell, legs and brace, so you never have to hunt for a fourth chair later.
- One-piece injection-moulded ABS shell: seat and back form a single piece, with no joins for crumbs, so a damp cloth is enough to clean it.
- UV-stable finish: it helps the white hold its colour near a sunny window, so the chair by the glass keeps pace with the other three.
- Solid beech dowel legs: real hardwood with a pale, slightly pink honey tone that keeps a white chair from looking cold.
- Wire cross-brace: it links the four legs and keeps the base square, and its black line is the darkest detail on the chair.
- Armless curved shell: all four chairs tuck fully under the tabletop, which keeps walkways clear in a kitchen-diner.
White Eiffel Dining Chairs Set of 4: Chairs That Outlast the Table
Many people buy dining chairs twice: once for a first flat, then again when the table changes. A neutral set of four avoids that. White shells do not tie you to one wall colour or one tabletop, so the same chairs can sit at a small round table now and a longer family table later.
Each chair brings three colours into the room: the white shell, the natural beech and the black wire. Echo just one of them somewhere else and the set looks planned. A black pendant light, black window frames or matt black taps pick up the brace, while an oak shelf or a woven rug picks up the legs.
That makes a mid-century white dining set easy to live with when you redecorate. Change the walls, the table linen or the art, and the chairs still fit.
Eames DSW Chair White Set of 4: Materials, Shape and Fit
The shell is ABS, a rigid plastic injected into a mould so the seat and back come out as one piece. Its surface is smooth and closed, with a UV-stable finish that resists fading. Underneath, four solid beech dowels form the wooden Eiffel base, fixed to the shell with four screws per chair and tied together by the wire cross-brace.
There is no padding, so the shape does the comfort work. The back follows the curve of your spine and the seat is shaped like a shallow bowl, so you settle in instead of sliding forward. If you often sit at the table for hours, plan for a seat pad.
With no arms, the chairs sit side by side and push right in under the table edge. That matters most where the dining area is also the route from the kitchen to the rest of the home.
A Chair Designed for Hosting
Charles Eames described the designer’s job as being “a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests”, and the couple’s shell chairs aimed to bring good design to as many people as possible at a low cost. A set of four puts that idea at your own table, with the same seat for every guest. Read more about their work on our Charles and Ray Eames designer page, or see what makes a chair an Eames design.

Is This White Set the Right Choice?
It suits you if
- You want white dining chairs, set of 4, all matching and arriving in one order.
- You expect to move home or change tables in the next few years.
- Your room already mixes white, wood and black, or you would like it to.
- You want chairs that can also work at a desk or as extra seats around the home.
Consider another version if
- Children draw, paint and eat at the table every day: our black DSW set of four hides those marks far better.
- You want colour at the table: the light blue set of four uses the same shell shape in a soft pastel.
- You only need two chairs: see our light blue DSW pair.
- You want armrests and a padded seat: our white Tulip chairs, set of two, have both.
- You want padding on the seat and back: the faux leather Eiffel chair with walnut legs is the softer option.

All of these use the same shell shape on beech legs with a wire brace. Browse them in our DSW chair replica range, or see every option in our dining chair collection.
Looking After a Set of Four
- Wipe all four seats after meals with a damp cloth and a drop of washing-up liquid, then dry them, so marks never have a chance to build up.
- Swap the chairs’ places every few months. The seat nearest the window, or the one used most, then ages at the same rate as the other three.
- Lift the chairs when you clean the floor instead of dragging them by the backrest.
- If a chair rocks, try it in another spot first, because tiles and old floorboards are often uneven. If it still rocks, email us at hello@sederica.com.
- Wipe oily or sticky spills off the beech legs promptly, and dry the legs after you mop.
- Keep the set a short distance from radiators and wood burners.
Questions About the White DSW Set of Four
Will the beech legs match my oak floor or oak table?
They will look close, not identical, and that usually works well. Beech is paler and slightly pinker than most oak, which tends to read more yellow or grey. Next to oak, the legs look like a related wood rather than a mismatch, and the white shells sit neatly between the two tones.
Will the black wire brace look out of place in an all-white room?
You will see it, and in most rooms that helps. The brace is the only dark line on each chair, so it gives the set an outline against white walls and pale floors. Repeat black once nearby, in a lamp, a picture frame or a door handle, and it looks deliberate.
Do white chairs work in a dark-walled dining room?
Yes, and they stand out more there than anywhere else. Against deep green, navy or charcoal walls, four white shells read as clear shapes around the table, while the beech legs soften the contrast. If you would rather the chairs blend in, our black set suits a dark room better.
Can the set double as meeting chairs in a home office or studio?
Yes, for meetings or work sessions around a table. The armless shells sit close together and wipe clean, and white keeps a small studio looking light. For long days at a desk you will want an adjustable chair, such as those in our office chair collection.
Can I get this white shell on a different base?
Not in this set, which comes only with beech dowel legs. If you like the white shell, our white RAR rocking chair puts a white moulded shell with arms on a chrome wire base with maple rockers, which suits a reading corner.
