Designed by husband and wife duo Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, the Santos Palisander Eames Lounge Chair with black leather upholstery is one of the most iconic designs of the 20th Century.
Personifying mid-century design, this ‘updated version of the old English club chair’ set a benchmark in the history of furniture manufacturing. Accompanied by a coordinating ottoman, this edition combines Vitra’s premium cowhide leather in black with a Santos Palisander wood shell.
Over the last 60 years, the average height has increased by nearly 10cm. In 2010, Vitra introduced this scaled-up Eames Lounger, meaning everyone can experience the same comfort the Eameses originally intended.

In a career that spanned over forty years, husband and wife duo Charles and Ray Eames developed countless ground-breaking pieces of furniture. Cementing their names as figureheads of America’s Mid-century Modern movement, the couple produced a prolific range of designs including the Eames Lounge Chair (1956), DSW Chair (1950) and Eames House (1949) all of which are still to this day heralded for their innovative use of new materials.

<p>Over the last 60 years, the average height has increased by nearly 10cm. In 2010, Vitra introduced this scaled-up Eames Lounger, meaning everyone can experience the same comfort the Eameses originally intended.</p> Intended to convey the impression of a soft, well-used baseball glove, this sophisticated lounger offers ample proportions to relax into whilst also providing ideal posture support.<p>Making the complex look simple, this armchair and foot stool are composed of three main elements: an innovative moulded plywood shell in glossy veneer, cast aluminium frame and soft leather upholstered cushioning. <p>Using modern production techniques, the shell is assembled from five thin sheets of plywood covered in a polished veneer prior to heat and pressure shaping. <p>This is contrasted by the sharp lines of the aluminium frame that gently locks together the curved, organic forms to create one harmonious silhouette. To alleviate any friction and provide ease of movement, pioneering rubber shock-mount pads are placed between the frame and shell enabling the back and headrest to flex. The raised legs of its cast aluminium base enables full 360 rotation with the low seat of this chair fixed to a permanent recline. Expertly tailored by artisan seamstresses, these hand chalked and cut leather panels are finished with matching piping and cloth covered buttons. 00https://www.heals.com/media/catalog/product/_/1/_1_0_1029870_5_1.jpghttps://www.heals.com/media/catalog/product/_/1/_1_0_1029870_6.jpghttps://www.heals.com/media/catalog/product/_/1/_1_0_1029870_4.jpghttps://www.heals.com/media/catalog/product/_/1/_1_0_1029870_n5.jpghttps://www.heals.com/media/catalog/product/_/1/_1_0_1029870_n6.jpghttps://www.heals.com/media/catalog/product/_/1/_1_0_1029870_n7.jpghttps://www.heals.com/media/catalog/product/_/e/_e_a_eames_1.jpgadd-to-cartbrand:Vitradesigner:Charles & Ray Eamesheals_colour:Blackmaterial_type:Leatherprice:8645.000000range:Eames LoungeVitraCharles & Ray EamesBlackLeather8645.000000Eames LoungeNoLeatherBlackBlack LeatherLeather Premium L40 66 NeroSantos PalisanderNoCharles & Ray EamesFurniture
