The Lounge Chair, created by Charles and Ray Eames in the 1950s, was designed to combine elegant appearance with maximum comfort. Since then, it has been produced by Vitra using essentially the same methods and is now recognized as a great classic of twentieth-century furniture design.
Available in two sizes and various combinations of leather or fabric upholstery and wooden shells and bases, the Lounge Chair is perfectly complemented by the matching Ottoman.
Since the Lounge Chair first went into production, the average human height has increased by almost 10 cm. In close collaboration with the Eames Office, Vitra has developed the new larger version so that taller individuals can also enjoy the same exceptional comfort envisioned by Charles and Ray Eames with their original 1956 design.
