Vitra’s Eames Lounge Ottoman, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, is a true design classic from 1956. Created as the perfect companion to the Eames Lounge Chair, the ottoman mirrors the elegant shape and refined materials of the iconic seat.
The chair and footstool we all know and love have cushions traditionally upholstered in leather, but when they were first introduced in the 1950s, they were briefly available with fabric covers. In 2023, Vitra reintroduced the Eames Lounge Chair in fabric – upholstered in Calma fabric woven from mohair wool and cotton, this ottoman features a dense, velvet-like surface that subtly shifts in tone with the light. The European cherry veneer parts are finished with a water-based lacquer, and the base is made of polished aluminium.
