First introduced almost seventy years ago, the Eames Lounge Chair is one of the most recognisable pieces of furniture in all of time. Characterised by its distinctively worked chestnut wooden shell and featuring a polished aluminium base, the lounge chair offers supreme comfort in any setting.
Traditionally upholstered in leather, this take on the Eames Lounge Chair harks back to the foundational years of the Eames’ most iconic piece when the pair experimented with various textile upholstery in the 1950s. Finished in sumptuous Nubia fabric, which complements the chair beautifully thanks to its voluminous bouclé yarn, this fresh update on a design masterpiece will no doubt go on to become a celebrated classic in its own right.
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”.
