The famous Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman was designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956.
Few pieces of furniture make an impact like this Eames lounge chair. Charles and Ray Eames designed the Lounge chair and ottoman with the aim of combining an elegant appearance with ultimate comfort. Made with highest quality materials and workmanship using the same methods that the Herman Miller brand is known for all over the world. The Lounge chair is widely recognised as a great design classic, and who could argue that? The Eames chair has even gone down in history as an American design icon, and the whole design concept was inspired by club chairs that were common in the 1800s.
This is truly a chair that has stood the test of time and maintained its position among the list of truly innovative chairs. When the Eames lounge chair was introduced in the mid 1950s, nobody had ever seen anything like it, much less sat in anything like it. This remains true even today, more than half a century later.
In cooperation with the Eames Office, Vitra has created a New size version for taller people.
Construction:
Plywood Shells in Santos Palisander (FSC certified)
All cushions are removable and covers come in Natural leather or Premium Leather, making the Eames lounge chair customisable to your needs.
The Leather Natural is an upgrade option used on the Eames chair. It is a very soft cowhide leather, and the untreated grain gives it a very organic appearance that is just as attractive as it is comfortable. It is porous, breathable and warm to the touch. Over time and through use, Leather Natural takes on a lively, characteristic patina. It is available in 4 colours so that it can complement any design or colour scheme.
Leather Premium, also used on the Eames chair, is a relatively smooth cowhide leather with a flat grain and fine top sheen. It is dyed-through and lightly pigmented. The semi-aniline leather is soft to the touch and available in 22 colours, offering even more options to truly create an impact with this already eye-catching chair.
