Furniture producer Vitra informs that the classic Eames Lounge Chair by Ray and Charles Eames has been updated. This ultimate example of superior quality and luxurious comfort since 1956 is now available in light-toned wood, polished aluminium and white leather. This new interpretation of the Eames Lounge Chair was achieved in close cooperation with the Eames Office and Dutch designer Hella Jongerius. With its light, fresh appearance, the white version of the Eames Lounge Chair once again demonstrates the lasting relevance of this furniture classic. The off-white leather cushions are paired with light-toned plywood shells and a polished aluminium base. All additional details - including zippers, backrest spacers and glides - are made out of light-hued materials to create a harmonious overall appearance. In this new colour palette, the Eames Lounge Chair becomes a centrepiece in light-coloured interiors with a bright, summery ambience. Parallel to the new version the classic Lounge Chair in black leather and rosewood veneer will continue to be available.

    Over the next few years chassis development in the junior formulas will be fascinating. The success of Ligier and Mygale in F3 is forcing the tectonic plates of the single-chassis formula apart, and surely it can only be a matter of time before other marques attempt to enter cars into GP2 or WSR.

    i just bought one … what a beautifully classic piece of architecture! and the best part of this whole exercise is it just so happens to also be comfortable. what a novel idea - paring form and function with a gravitating design that has stood the test of time. a ode to the eames’.
