Lounge Chair Lounge Chair (classic version) Lounge Chair (white version) Lounge Chair (black version) ‚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 aim was to satisfy the desire for an amply proportioned chair that combined ultimate comfort with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. The armchair designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956 set new standards: it is not only lighter, more elegant and more modern than the conventionally ponderous club chair – it is also more comfortable. Thanks to these qualities, the Lounge Chair became one of the most famous designs by Charles and Ray Eames and has attained the status of a classic in the history of modern furniture. Lounge Chair (white version) Lounge Chair (black version) Ever since it was first launched, the Lounge Chair has been manufactured in different variations. Although there was a recurrent demand for a version with white upholstery, white models were only produced infrequently as special editions. ‘What I really want is a black with feeling.’ – Charles Eames All elements of the black Lounge Chair – ash shells and aluminium components – are completely finished in black, lending an air of dignified refinement to this version of the legendary armchair. The new interpretation of this classic armchair in a light, graceful version was developed by Vitra in collaboration with the Eames Office and Dutch designer Hella Jongerius. All of the chair‘s components are coordinated, from the zipper fasteners to the backrest spacers to the glides on the base. The leather cushions fit snugly into shells of walnut veneer with a light-coloured stain; the aluminium base and back braces have a polished finish. Materials ∏ Seat and back: moulded plywood, different face veneers. Classic version in American cherry (USA), santos palisander (Bolivia; certified sustainability) or black-pigmented walnut (USA). White version: white-pigmented walnut (USA). Black version: ash with a black lacquer finish (Germany). ∏ Upholstery/Cover: removable cushion, removable covers in leather or fabric. Lounge Chair (classic version) The classic version of the Eames Lounge Chair offers a wide choice of options: various types of wood for the shells, a selection of fabrics, leather grades and colours, and several surface finishes for the base. If the Lounge Chair is ordered together with the Ottoman, the grain on the wooden shells of both pieces will be matched during the production process; this is not possible if they are ordered separately. ∏ Seat height: 380 mm (250 mm with applied load, measured in accordance with EN 13351:2000).
