Vitra: Aluminum Lounge Eames Chair

As a lot of design studios are furniture paradise, the company where I am working at is also a full of design furniture everywhere. It didn’t take me long time until I found out that one of the chairs in my creative’s room was a original aluminum lounge eames chair.

The pictures above are from Vitra’s ads in 2008. The chair can easily transition from a office space to a cozy living room by selecting colors. Here is a film by Eames Demetrios on the history and the production of Charles & Ray Eames’ famous Aluminium Chair.
