VITRA Organic Chair
The Organic Chair designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen is an extremely comfortable small reading chair, made in 1940 as a contribution to the New York MoMA's "Organic Design in Home Furnishings" competition.
The Organic Chair was way ahead of its time, but owing to the lack of manufacturing techniques, never went into series production. It wasn't until after 1950 that it became possible to manufacture larger quantities of organically shaped seat shells and market them. The first were chairs such as Eames' famous Plastic Armchair or Saarinen's Tulip Chair.
One step on from Organic came the Organic Highback Chair - with an elongated backrest and moulded neck support, making it a comfortable armchair for both lounging or reading.
Manufactured by Vitra both versions come in a range of Tonus (90% New wool, 10% Helenca) fabrics with black beech legs.
