CHARLES EAMES (USA, 1907 - 1978) & RAY EAMES (USA, 1912 - 1988) for VITRA Editor. "Lounge Chair & Ottoman", 1956 design. Rosewood veneer with brown leather upholstery and polished black aluminum base. With Vitra Editor plaque. New Dimensions. Measurements: 90 x 85 x 85 cm; 40 x 66 x 54 cm (ottoman). The "Lounge" armchair and footrest set, made of molded wood with leather upholstery, was designed by Charles and Ray Eames. An icon of 20th century design, this furniture is part of important collections such as that of the MoMA in New York. Vitra has manufactured the Charles and Ray Eames Lounge Chair using the same manufacturing methods since the 1950s. The reason for making the XL version is because, since it was first produced, the average height of the population has increased worldwide by almost 10 cm. For that reason, and in close collaboration with the Eames Office, Vitra has developed a new, larger version so that taller people can also enjoy the exceptional comfort envisioned by Charles and Ray Eames for their original 1956 design. Charles and Ray Ames, a husband and wife artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He would eventually teach there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Award, given by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they would remain for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House," now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fiberglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.
