Vitra Eames Contemporary Lounge Chair and Footstool in Chestnut - Cognac Premium Leather / Polished aluminium with black sides

The Vitra Eames Lounge Chair is probably one the most iconic furniture pieces of the twentieth century. Produced by Vitra using the same high standards and traditional techniques as the original, it balances refined craftsmanship with outstanding comfort.

This version is crafted with a Chestnut wood shell, a material defined by its open grain and visible growth rings. In its natural finish, Chestnut starts with a warm honey tone that gradually deepens into a golden reddish-brown over time, adding character as it ages. Pairing the distinctive wooden shell with soft, upholstered cushions, the Lounge Chair remains a timeless design that continues to feel both inviting and contemporary. 

Whether you're seeking a cosy spot to unwind or an eye-catching centrepiece for your decor, this chair's seamless blend of iconic design and ultimate relaxation is the answer. Elevate your space with the unmistakable allure of the Eames Lounge Chair, where every moment spent is a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles and Ray Eames' exceptional design.

Like the classic version, the New Lounge Chair features a high-quality wood shell, cushioned upholstery, and a polished metal base fitted with hard glides for carpet, with optional felt glides for hard floors. The larger dimensions make it particularly suitable for modern interiors where comfort and elegance are equally valued. For more information on available upholstery, finishes, or bespoke configurations, please contact sales@hollowaysofludlow.com.

We can also supply the Eames chair in Classic dimensions, as per the original Eames' designs. Over 90% of sales of the Eames chair are now in the slightly larger Contemporary dimensions, reflecting the changes in average height over the past 70 years. However, if you would prefer the Classic dimensions please email sales@hollowaysofludlow.com. The price is unchanged.

If you require more information on available upholstery, finishes, or bespoke configurations, please contact us.

**NOTE** All variations are fitted with the felt glides for hard floor base. For plastic glides suitable for carpet please make your purchase and email sales@hollowaysofludlow.com to request the change.
