Vitra’s Eames Lounge Chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, is a modern interpretation of a traditional English club chair. A perfect companion to the Lounge Chair is the Lounge Ottoman, which shares the same flowing design as the iconic seat.
The Eameses set out to create a generous lounge chair that would combine ergonomics with high-quality materials and craftsmanship. It took several years to develop a design that would stand apart from a conventional club chair through its lighter, more refined form and exceptional comfort. The Eames Lounge Chair is available in two sizes: the original, classic dimensions and a newer, larger version – this model is the updated, larger size.
The chair is upholstered in Leather Premium F, a high-quality semi-aniline leather tanned with eco-friendly olive leaf extract. The tanning agent is obtained as a waste product from olive harvesting.
