When first introduced in 1956, the Eames Lounge Chair redefined modern furniture with its elegant form, mobility and lightweight construction - standing apart from the unwieldy, conventional club chairs. This 21st-century update from Vitra features a European cherry veneer shell, showcasing the wood’s warm golden tones, uniform grain and fine texture.
Upholstered in sumptuous Calma mohair fabric that catches light with a soft, lustrous sheen, the swivel armchair invites relaxation and tactile pleasure, perfect for sophisticated living rooms, reading nooks or lounge areas. Available in both original and updated dimensions, the Eames Lounge Chair combines timeless style with enduring comfort, celebrating a rich design heritage while turning every moment of rest into a luxurious experience.
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”.
