Its exceptional comfort, refined materials and iconic form have secured the chair’s status as a modern classic in furniture design history. This updated black-lacquered version with a European chestnut shell pairs beautifully with dark leather or fabric upholstery and a sleek black base frame.
Originally designed in 1956, built for enduring comfort and timeless appeal, the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman stand as enduring icons that leave an unmistakable presence in any space.
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”.
