Lobby Chair | Sofa Compact

Eames Collection

The Lobby Chair consists of three separate upholstered elements connected by metal side-pieces.

The aluminium frame is the key element of the Lobby Chair’s shape.

Charles & Ray Eames feature among the most important figures of twentieth century design. Their work is multi-faceted: they developed funiture, produced films and photographs, organised exhibitions and designed and built their own house as a pioneering endeavour.

Vitra has produced and marketed the furniture designs of Charles & Ray Eames since 1957. First producing under license, Vitra obtained exclusive rights to all Eames products for Europe and the Middle East in 1984. Consequently, we are the sole legitimate manufacturer of Eames designs in this part of the world. The brand gives you the security of owning an original product by Charles & Ray Eames.

The Sofa Compact dates from 1954. With its tall, slim and slightly angular profile, it is very different from traditional sofas. Designed for both the living room and the office, the sofa is collapsible for easy storage and transportation.

The Lobby Chair was designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1960 for the lobby of New York’s Time Life building. It is an executive chair for offices, conference rooms and waiting areas. Its soft leather upholstery gives it the comfortable feel of a club armchair.
