Designed by husband and wife duo Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, the Eames Lounge Chair 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. This edition combines Vitra’s natural cowhide leather in a deep chocolate hue with an American cherry-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 taller people can experience the same comfort that was originally intended.

Care & Buying Guide
Dust should be regularly removed from leather surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. It is advisable to treat leather once a year with a special leather care product. This prevents the leather from drying out and keeps it soft and supple. Direct sunlight should be avoided to protect the leather from fading and becoming brittle. Leather products should not be positioned in direct proximity to heat sources.

Designed by husband and wife duo Charles & Ray Eames in 1956, this ‘updated version of the old English club chair’ set a benchmark in the history of furniture manufacturing, combining luxurious comfort with the highest-quality materials and craftsmanship. The lounger has an unmistakably modern shape while the leather upholstery harks back to the tradition of English armchairs, beginning with William Morris’s late 19th century designs.
With average human height increasing worldwide by nearly 10cm, Vitra have now introduced a larger version of the Eames Lounge Chair meaning taller people can experience the same comfort that was intended with the original 1956 design.
