Introduced in 1956, the Eames Lounge Chair is a pillar of furniture design and has remained an integral piece of the Vitra catalogue ever since its introduction. With its magnificently worked wooden shell and polished aluminium base it offers an unparalleled sense of comfort.
Traditionally upholstered in leather, this take on the Eames Lounge Chair nods back to the early years of the Eames’ most iconic object when the pair experimented with various upholstery types when first launching the chair. Finished in luxurious Nubia fabric, a highly textured fabric which complements the chair beautifully, this fresh take on a design masterpiece will no doubt go on to become a beloved classic in its own right.
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”.
