Lounge Chair and ottoman in rosewood by Charles & Ray Eames, Vitra

The legendary Lounge Chair with its ottoman, designed in 1956 by Charles & Ray Eames and manufactured by Vitra in Germany. The Eames couple is among the most influential designers of the 20th century; with the Lounge Chair, they created their model of absolute comfort and at the same time one of the most famous seating icons in design history, still present today in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. The seat, backrest, and armrests rest on three curved shells made of moulded plywood, veneered in Santos rosewood. Its lively brown-red grain, streaked with dark veins, recalls the classic version in rosewood from the early decades; the light layers of wood are finely outlined on the edges. The deep, buttoned cushions are covered in soft cognac leather that wonderfully complements the warm tone of the wood. The chair and ottoman rest on swivel bases made of black powder-coated aluminium, with the backrest supports having polished edges. The chair corresponds to the current Vitra version with a height of 89 cm. Both pieces bear the original Vitra label, and a certificate of authenticity is provided. This is a new piece: a showroom model, never used, offered at a significantly lower price than the current new price. A second identical set of chair and ottoman is also available. Condition: as new – perfect condition with no signs of use. A timeless classic for discerning interiors. Dimensions of the chair: approx. 84 × 85 × 89 cm, seat height 38 cm (width × depth × height) Dimensions of the ottoman: approx. 63 × 56 × 42 cm (width × depth × height)
