The Vitra Eames Lounge Chair + Ottoman is a design by the American design icons Charles and Ray Eames, who made a groundbreaking contribution to furniture and industrial design during the last century. In particular, the technique they developed of moulding plywood and fibreglass into seat shells was revolutionary at the time and resulted in designs that are produced and loved to this day. One of the absolute icons from the repertoire of Charles (1907 – 1978) and Ray (1912 – 1988) is the Lounge Chair with ottoman. The famous Lounge Chair with ottoman was designed in 1956 as a gift for a couple who were friends of the Eameses. The chair was intended to radiate warmth, "like a perfectly fitting baseball player's mitt," and offer ultimate comfort. Such a design also heralded a new era for the British club chair. Not only was the Lounge Chair lighter, more elegant, and more modern than the somewhat clumsy traditional models, but it was also more comfortable.
