Lounge Chair Collection – Armchair and ottoman

“Why not make a modern version of the old English club chair?” It was with this inspiration that Charles Eames began to develop the Lounge Chair in a creative process that took many years. The aim was to satisfy the desire for an armchair with large proportions that combined the absolute comfort and the best quality of materials and workmanship. The chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956 set new standards: not only is it lighter, sleeker and more modern than the traditional, bulky club chair, but it is also more comfortable. Thanks to these qualities, the Lounge Chair has become one of the most famous designs by Charles and Ray Eames and has acquired the status of a classic in the history of modern furniture.
