Traditional manufacturing and sustainability

Since 1956, nothing has changed in the manufacturing standards of the Vitra Eames Lounge Chair: The original design by Charles & Ray Eames is still largely handcrafted from three wooden shells - for the seat shell, backrest and headrest - assembled, upholstered and mounted on a rotating five-star base. 47 work steps are necessary to make the design classic shine in all its glory.

The original version of the Eames Lounge Chair was made of Brazilian rosewood, which is now subject to strict species protection. The closest version to the original Lounge Chair is the subsequent version made of Santos rosewood, which is very similar to the original material . Vitra attaches great importance to the fact that all wood comes from sustainably managed forests.

Vitra complies with both the ISO 90001 quality management standard and the ISO 14001 environmental management standard.

A classic of furniture design

Designed by Charles & Ray Eames in 1956, the Vitra Eames Lounge Chair has become a true design classic due to its popularity . Immediately after its creation, the lounge chair already received the Triennale Award in Milan.

Charles Eames' intention was to create an alternative to the classic English club chair. This seemed too clunky and bulky to the designer - but Charles Eames did not want to do without the comfort that this chair offered.

This is how the Vitra Lounge Chair came into being, which, with the combination of plywood shells and leather upholstery, breaks completely new ground in terms of appearance and comfort . Keeping your posture even when sitting relaxed - that's what the Eames Lounge Chair makes possible.

At the time of the Eames Lounge Chair's creation, the trend was towards organic and homely shapes and colours - which also inspired Charles & Ray Eames. Thus, the generous armchair conveys cosiness, which, paired with timelessness and style, makes up the image of the Eames Lounge Chair as a design classic.

It is not without reason that the Eames Lounge Chair has been part of the famous design collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York since 1960 . At the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, the legendary lounge chair naturally has a place of honour .

Vitra's founding father, Willi Fehlbaum, discovered the Eames Lounge Chair in a shop window at the time and was so enthusiastic that he immediately secured the licence to manufacture and distribute the original design by Charles Eames. To this day, the original Eames Lounge Chair is only produced by Vitra. With us in the online shop, you have the guarantee that you are ordering a Original Vitra Lounge Chair.
