Organic Chair by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen
Description
Classic and comfortable small reading chair, designed in 1940. Authentically manufactured by Vitra, true to the original design. The chair was first made as a contribution to the New York MoMA's "Organic Design in Home Furnishings" competition. Formally speaking it was ahead of its time, but owing to the lack of manufacturing techniques, it wasn't put into series production. It was not until after 1950 that it became possible to manufacture larger quantities of organically shaped seat shells and market them.
Also available is the Organic Highback. It has an elongated backrest with a moulded neck support, making it a comfortable armchair for lounging or reading. The dimensions of the armrests and seat surface, which are wider and longer than the Organic Chair, also augment the seating comfort of the highback version.
Both versions are upholstered in Tonus fabric with black ash legs. Please contact us for more information - Tel: 0207 5369291 or email mail@hauslondon.com
