Create your own Eames Shell Chair or opt for a circular update of your current chair.

The Vitra Circle Store pop-up will be on display during GLUE Amsterdam at Danzigerkade 11 in Amsterdam completely dedicated to the iconic Eames Shell Chair .

On Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, you can design your own Eames Shell Chair: choose your favorite shell and choose the base. While you enjoy a delicious cup of coffee from Coffee on Wheels , your chair will be assembled on-site – ready to take home!

Do you already have an Eames Shell Chair but are you ready for something different?

Then turn in your old chair and receive an attractive compensation, which we'll immediately apply towards the purchase of your new Eames Shell Chair . This way, you'll give your old chair a new life and contribute to circular design.

Would you rather upgrade your existing chair?

Are you happy with your chair but would like to change the design? Choose to return just the shell or base. You'll receive a nice refund for that too, which we'll immediately apply towards the purchase of a new shell or base. A small change with a big impact – your chair will look like new again!
