Originally designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1950, the LAR armchair features a twist on the distinctive wire base that is synonymous with the Eames plastic chair collection, compressed and stretched to new dimensions, holding a moulded plastic seat.
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”.
