Originally designed in 1948 by Charles and Ray Eames, La Chaise was their entry for a MoMA competition in New York. Inspired by Gaston Lachaise’s sculpture Floating Figure, the sha pe is sculptural in its own right, fluid, oversized, and made to be stretched out on. It’s not the kind of lounge chair you tuck into a corner. This one makes a statement, more art piece than furniture, though still surprisingly comfortable. A true classic from the Eames archive, and still made by Vitra today. Show more
