Named simply
La Chaise – the chair, in English – Charles and Ray Eames’ lounger design was submitted to a competition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1948. More than seventy years later, its fluid silhouette is scaled down to a sixth of its original size to fit (and we mean literally) in
Vitra’s Miniature Collection. The organic shape is recreated in the same materials (steel, polyurethane and oak) as its life-sized counterpart.
