Spotted in photographs taken of the design duo’s home in Pacific Palisades, California, the LAR has now been reintroduced by Vitra. The chair features a twist on the iconic wire chair base, compressed and stretched to new dimensions, with the base holding the fiberglass armchair shell.
The chair is compact and lightweight, allowing ease of movement, whilst its iconic shape adds a striking accent to any living space, whether used in the living room, bedroom or dining room.
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”.
