Charles & Ray Eames Lounge Chair

This world-famous chair was designed by Charles & Ray Eames in 1956 to provide a comfortable and elegant place to relax. They envisioned a modern, lighter version of the English club chair. Since then, the VITRA Lounge Chair has been manufactured with the highest quality in materials and construction using nearly the same process. It is available in two sizes and various combinations.

Der neue Beckmann in Hamburg showcases several versions in the exhibition, including rosewood, American cherry, white-pigmented walnut, and can demonstrate the wonderful veneer woods and leather qualities to captivate you with the feel and craftsmanship of the Eames Lounge Chair.

Eames Plastic Chair

Forever young. Light, elegant, colorful, comfortable. It's incredible that this chic Plastic Chair was already designed by Charles & Ray Eames in 1950. Today, it stands as a prototype for chairs with shell seats that can be combined with various bases.

DAW stands for Dining Height Armchair Wood Base, with a wooden base made from different woods and cross struts made of round steel, creating an interesting material contrast to the plastic shell. DSR refers to the Dining Height Side Rod Base, featuring the so-called Eiffel Tower base made of steel wire. This delicate construction combines stability with formal lightness. DAR, the Dining Height Armchair Rod Base, with a comfortable armrest shell and a base made of steel wire, combines all the conveniences of aesthetics and comfort.

In all its diversity, the Eames Plastic Chair has become an icon of American Mid Century design.

Since the fall of 2018, the classic from VITRA is also available again as the Eames Fiberglass Chair.

Bouroullec Softshell Chair

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec from Paris have achieved the ultimate design for comfortable seating with their Softshell Chair from 2008. This is due, on the one hand, to its gentle forms with soft padding all around and its pleasant tactile quality. On the other hand, its interior plays a role: flexible, vertical lamellas are integrated into the backrest of these chairs, providing support for your freedom of movement.

With a four-legged base, this armchair-like chair fits excellently with various dining tables. Since the end of last year, it is also available without armrests. And with casters for the office area, it will certainly contribute to more enthusiasm at work.
