Eames Lounge Chair – New Dimensions by Vitra
“Why don’t we make an updated version of the old English club chair?”
With this comment, Charles Eames initiated the development of the Lounge Chair, a process that took several years. The Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman went on to become one of the great designs of the 20th century.
This iconic armchair designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956 set new standards: it is not only lighter, more elegant and more modern than the conventional club chair – it is also more comfortable.
These days the authentic Eames Lounge Chair is available from Vitra in two sizes: with the original Classic Dimensions and with New Dimensions for taller users. Furthermore, both options can now be upholstered in Nubia bouclé fabric exclusive to Vitra.
Please contact us to discuss the upholstery and timber options, we’re very happy to help.
The matching ottoman is sold separately, please refer to Lounge Chair Ottoman.
