Vitra Eames Contemporary Lounge Chair and Footstool in Natural Walnut - Leather natural nero / Polished aluminium with Black Sides

The Vitra Eames New Lounge Chair in natural walnut is an updated version of Charles and Ray Eames’ iconic 1956 design, created to better accommodate taller users while retaining the same timeless aesthetic and exceptional comfort. Produced by Vitra with the same precision and craftsmanship as the original, this edition is approximately 5cm taller and slightly deeper, offering a more generous seating experience without compromising the balanced proportions that made the Lounge Chair a design classic. The chair’s rich and warm walnut veneer contrasts beautifully with its supple upholstery, highlighting the Eameses’ enduring mastery of materials and form.

Like the classic version, the New Lounge Chair features a high-quality wood veneer shell, cushioned upholstery, and a polished metal base fitted with felt glides for hard floors, with optional glides for carpeted floors on request. The larger dimensions make it particularly suitable for modern interiors where comfort and elegance are equally valued.

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.

The Vitra Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman in Natural Walnut combines the familiar sculptural form of the Eames design with the warmth of a natural timber veneer. Its generous cushions, curved shell and accompanying footstool make it suitable for relaxed living spaces and reading areas. The walnut finish introduces natural texture while retaining the chair's distinctive modern appearance.
