Originally designed in the 1950s by one of the most famous design duo's in history, the LAR has now been reintroduced by Vitra. The chair features a twist on the iconic wire chair base, stretched and compressed to unique dimensions, the base now holding the fibreglass armchair shell, a design only reissued in 2019 itself. The chair is lightweight and compact which allows ease of movement, whilst its iconic shape adds a striking focal-point to any living space, whether used in a bedroom, lounge or conservatory.
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”.
