Eames Lounge Chair, new size, American cherry - Nubia cream/sand

Vitra’s Eames Lounge Chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, is a modern interpretation of a traditional English club chair. A perfect companion to the Lounge Chair is the Lounge Ottoman, which shares the same flowing design as the iconic seat.

The Eameses set out to create a generous lounge chair that would combine ergonomics with high-quality materials and craftsmanship. It took several years to develop a design that would stand apart from a conventional club chair through its lighter, more refined form and exceptional comfort. The Eames Lounge Chair is available in two sizes: the original, classic dimensions and a newer, larger version – this model is the updated, larger size.

The chair we all have come to know and love has cushions upholstered with leather, but when it was first introduced in the 1950s, the chair was briefly available as a fabric-upholstered version. In 2023, Vitra relaunched the Eames Lounge Chair with a fabric cover, this time complete with a lively Nubia bouclé textile. The American cherry veneer parts are finished with a water-based lacquer, and the base is made of polished aluminium.
