When first unveiled, the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman reshaped modern design with their sculptural form and effortless sophistication. This latest expression, crafted with a European cherry veneer shell, highlights the wood’s natural radiance - its soft golden tones, fine texture and even grain bringing warmth and depth to the classic silhouette.
Upholstered in Vitra Calma fabric that feels sumptuously soft to the touch, the Eames set offers an inviting sense of ease in any space - from contemporary living rooms to quiet reading corners. Available in both original and updated dimensions, the Eames Lounge Chair and matching footrest continue to embody mid-century design, remaining just as stylish and relevant today as when they were first created.
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”.
