When film set decorators need to convey a character’s good taste and style or when they simply need an extremely handsome piece in a domestic or office setting, we’ll often spot an Eames creation and more than often a classic Lounge chair.

Possibly one of the most iconic and much loved lusted after chair of the Twentieth Century, Charles Eames said his goal for the chair was “a special refuge from the strains of modern living”. The chair, manufactured by Vitra, is a contemporary and luxurious interpretation of the traditional gentlemen’s club chair with matching ottoman. It combines modern sculptural lines of cherry wood veneer shells and removable supple natural leather upholstery to create a design classic that is comfortable and visually stylish. It has a die cast aluminium frame on shock mounts for flexible movement, a quirky signature five arm base and a functional swivel action.

It is available in black and white and each piece carries Charles and Ray Eames signature as a mark of authenticity.
