Guide for vitra eames style lounge chair manufacturer

What are Eames lounge chairs?

The Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman are furnishings made of molded plywood and leather, designed by Charles and Ray Eames for the Herman Miller furniture company.  

It was the first chair that the Eameses designed for a high-end market. 

The Eames Lounge Chair is an icon of modern style design, was designed with the aim of combining an elegant appearance with ultimate comfort. The chair back and headrest are identical in proportion, as are the seat and the ottoman.

Since its introduction, the chair has been in continuous production by MillerKnoll in the USA. Later, Vitra (in cooperation with the German furniture company Fritz Becker KG) began producing the chair for the European market. It has been produced by Vitra using virtually the same methods ever since and is now recognized as a great classic of twentieth-century furniture design. Offered in two sizes and various configurations with different types of leather upholstery covers, wooden shells, and bases, the Lounge Chair is ideally complemented by the matching Ottoman.

It was licensed in the UK for 10 years to Hille International LTD from 1957. Herman Miller and Vitra remain the only two companies to produce these chairs with the Eames name attached.

Eames-designed lounge chairs are priced that way because people are willing to pay that much.
