The instantly recognisable silhouette exudes a genuine sense of quality, with the lush back and seat clearly announcing the intentions of the seat to provide supreme comfort. The Vitra ES 108 Lobby Chair has been a popular mainstay of the Eames’s repertoire ever since its conception in 1960 and is a common fixture in home offices, conference centres and ad agencies across the world.
The luxurious chrome-plated base has a swivel feature for ease of manoeuvrability, while the premium Vitra leather upholstery ensures that the Vitra Eames ES 108 Lobby Chair will look as good on its 1000th day as it does the first.
American husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound influence on the visual character of American life, producing original work within the fields of architecture, furniture design, industrial design, manufacturing and the photographic arts.
The Eames’ first partnered with Vitra in 1957 to produce some of the most iconic pieces of furniture in the history of interior design. Today Vitra continues to reflect their philosophy on design and functionality, best understood through Charles’ own words: “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design”.
