VITRA Eames Lounge Chair

The very epitome of a design classic the original Eames Lounge Chair from Vitra is one of the most famous design by Charles & Ray Eames. Created in 1956 the Eames Lounge Chair is now a classic in the history of modern furniture.

Originally designed as a modern interpretation of the traditional club chair the Lounge Chair consists of three laminated wooden shells attached to a die-cast aluminium frame on shock mounts, giving a flexible connection. Soft leather (nappa cowhide) upholstery sections provide the comfort. The base is swivel.

There are a number of variations to the design. The base can be in either chromed, polished aluminium or black with polished aluminium detail on the horizontal surfaces. The shell veneer is in cherry, Santos Palisander (rosewood) or black pigmented walnut. Leather choices have been selected to complement the wood choices in black, brown and rich chocolate.

Whilst there are a number of inferior copies available on the internet at a fraction of the price, often labelled as 'Eames inspired' true connosseurs will appreciate the quality of the original design - manufactured under licence from the Eames estate by Vitra.

The Eames Lounge Chair is a bespoke piece of furniture and will give many years of lounging pleasure.
