Description

Vitra Eames lounge chair upholstery Nubia.

This iconic and comfortable Eames Lounge Chair by Charles and Ray Eames is now also available in soft fabric upholstery with a cuddly and cozy character.

The chair we all know and love usually has cushions covered in leather, but when it was first introduced in the 1950s, the chair was briefly available in a fabric-covered version. In 2023, Vitra decided it was time to reissue this version, this time upholstered in the vibrant Nubia bouclé fabric.

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 combined 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 that had to be lighter, more elegant and offer unsurpassed comfort. And they succeeded!

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 high-quality leather. A perfect partner for the Lounge Chair is the Lounge Ottoman, which shares the same flowing design as the iconic chair. The Lounge Ottoman gives you even more comfort when you want to rest, read or work on your laptop.

About the designers:

Ray and Charles Eames were an American designer couple whose name is known to anyone with an interest in modern design. Charles Eames was born in 1907 in St. Louis, Missouri. 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.
