Vitra Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman cherry, Calma brandy, alu polished base

Vitra Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman.

The iconic Eames Lounge Chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, is a modern take on the more traditional English club chair. The Eames duo wanted to create a spacious armchair that combines ergonomics with high-quality materials and craftsmanship. It took several years to develop a perfect lounge chair that would differ from the then popular club chair and it had to be lighter, more elegant and offer unsurpassed comfort. That worked out great!

The Eames Lounge Chair, manufactured by the Swiss Vitra, consists of a metal swivel base, a pressed plywood with a veneer surface armor and seat and back cushions covered with quality leather. A perfect partner for the Lounge Chair is the Lounge Ottoman, which shares the same flowing design with the iconic chair. The Lounge Ottoman gives you even more comfort when you want to rest, read or work on your laptop.

New Calma fabric: Made of 100% natural fibres, dense, velvety, virgin wool pile changes tone with the light, giving the fabric depth and a natural sheen. While the mohair velour is soft and supple to the touch, Calma is also hard-wearing, easy to clean and holds its shape. The colours perfectly complement the new wood veneer options of the Eames Lounge Chair. Calma comes in a choice of 6 colours.

He studied architecture at the University of Washington and, at the invitation of Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, continued his studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts, Michigan in 1940.

There he met Eero Saarinen, with whom he participated in a competition called "Organic Design in Home Furnishing" organized by the MoMA in New York. Eames and Saarinen won the competition using a plywood molding technique originally developed by Alvar Aalto Charles Eames also met her future wife Ray in Cranbrook, and the couple married in 1941.
