Charles Eames' declared aim for this chair was to combine the utmost comfort with high-end materials and high-quality finishing.
The result: a modern interpretation of the traditional club armchair boasting a convincingly well thought-out construction, right down to its tiniest details. Just as he intended, the chair conveys the impression of a soft, well-used baseball glove, inviting the user to sink back into it.
Materials:
seat and backrest shells and armrests in bent plywood, connection with rubber/metal shock connection (shock mounts), removable upholstery with leather covers.
Design:
Charles and Ray Eames, 1956
Manufacturer:
Vitra
