Product information

"Vitra Lounge Chair & Ottoman"

The Lounge Chair - one of the most famous designs by Charles and Ray Eames - was created in 1956 and is now a classic in the history of modern furniture. Charles Eames' declared aim for the Lounge Chair and Ottoman was to combine the utmost comfort with high-end materials and high-quality finishing. The result: a modern interpretation of the traditional English club chair, boasting a convincingly well thoughtout construction, right down to its tiniest details. Just as he intended, the chair conveys the impression of a soft, well-used baseball glove, inviting the user to sink back into it.

Removable upholstery with premium or grand leather covers.
Plywood shell, veneered in American cherry, Santos rosewood or black pigmented walnut
Classic version: 840 x 840 x 850 mm.

FAQs

How can I recognize a authentic Eames Lounge Chair?

A authentic Eames Lounge Chair can be recognized by several features: The shell consists of several thin wooden slats with rounded edges that are neatly glued together, while the seat is upholstered in high-quality leather or fabric and neatly sewn into the shell. Standard dimensions such as a seat height of 38 cm and a total height of 84–89 cm are typical. Significant differences indicate that it is a replica. In addition, the original chair has a manufacturer's label and is neatly finished, with no rough joints or easily slipping upholstery.

Is the Vitra Lounge Chair comfortable?

The chair is described by various sources, such as the Vitra Shop, design blogs, and user forums, as “very comfortable” or “back-friendly,” especially in combination with the ottoman. The soft upholstery, gentle back support, and comfortable angle of the seat shell are praised. For very tall people or when working for long periods of time, seating comfort may be limited, as “comfort” depends on individual use.

Are the cushions of the lounge chair removable or replaceable?

Yes, the padding units are removable, which makes cleaning or replacement easier.

What wood and upholstery options are available for the Lounge Chair?

Wooden shells are available in Santos rosewood, walnut, or cherry, for example. Upholstery is available in Premium F leather or Natural F leather.

Where should the Lounge Chair ideally be placed?

Do not expose the chair to direct sunlight or heat for long periods of time, as this may cause the leather to dry out or fade. Ideal room climate: approx. 45–50% humidity and ~18–20 °C.
