With the launch of the Lounge Chair in 1956, Charles and Ray Eames set new standards: it was not only lighter, more elegant and more modern than the conventionally ponderous club chair, it was also far more comfortable.
It is these qualities that have made the Eames Lounge Chair one of the best-known design classics in the history of modern furniture.
As a special edition for the winter season 2023/24, Vitra is issuing the Lounge Chair with a Phlox fabric cover in the colour dark green.
Phlox is a velour corduroy textile, which combined with a palisander wood shell emphasises the armchair’s iconic appearance, while its pine-green metal parts - base and back braces - form a contrasting contemporary feature.
